4. Add a bottle of Royal Salute 21-Year-Old Richard Quinn Edition to your collection

Price: RM1,138

The worlds of couture and whisky collide in the Royal Salute 21-Year-Old Richard Quinn Edition whisky, which has just reached our shores. First unveiled during London Fashion Week in September 2021, the limited-edition flagon is defined by the rising British designer’s bespoke, vivid prints that capture the beauty of rose petals with a contemporary edge represented by thorns. The exclusive design comes in two colourways, black and white, with the former now available for purchase and the latter set to arrive later in June.

Housed within the striking bottles is a carefully crafted 21-Year-Old blend by Royal Salute’s renowned Master Blender Sandy Hyslop. The special blend is made from more than 31 hand-selected rare single malts and grain whiskies, which were all matured for a minimum of 21 years. The resulting scotch has a floral and fragrant character that reflects the design on its vessel, with a rich depth and hints of oak and spice.

The Royal Salute 21-Year-Old Richard Quinn Edition is available in limited quantities at selected premium retail and liquor stores, e-Commerce platforms, as well as via direct purchase. For further purchasing inquiries, click here.
