Royal Salute 21-Year-Old Scotch Whisky

"A collection of the distillery’s oldest and rarest whiskeys, from TN & IN, aged a minimum of 15 years and meticulously blended, only ever in extremely small batches, before being finished for 3 months in air-seasoned casks at Widow Jane’s Red Hook rickhouse. Each release in The Vaults collection is highlighted by bold flavors including those imparted by the specific wood in which it was finished; a different wood every year harvested from various regions and with different amounts of air-seasoning to the staves the casks are raised from. The Vaults' finishing barrels were made from Chinquapin Oak staves harvested from trees grown on a limestone-rich shelf in Northern Kentucky and air-seasoned for at least 48 months, withstanding the often dramatic shifts in weather conditions typical of the mid-South. The Vaults shows the impact of rare and fragile finishing wood on older bourbons. Blending these exceptional bourbons chosen from our TN & IN stocks was a meticulous process, finding the gems in the bunch, and layering in flavor through barrels as old as 20 years. Finishing the whiskey in this slow-growing KY oak allowed for deeper whiskey saturation, the result of which is a spirit that American whiskey collectors are sure to appreciate." —producer

"Rich wood-driven influenced aromas with deep toffee notes and spice. Toffee and oak remain consistent with hints of leather and vanilla along with a subtle sherry nuttiness creating depth and complexity. Long and full with the sweet toffee notes slowly fading while the toasted oak and spice linger throughout until the very end." —producer

"How about a sip of something legendary, old sport? Remus Bourbon is proud to introduce the one and only Remus Gatsby Reserve. Crafted with the finest 15-year-old reserves, this ultra-limited, cask strength straight bourbon celebrates F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic novel “The Great Gatsby”, from its events in 1922 to its publication in 1925. Legend has it, Fitzgerald’s titular character ‘Jay Gatsby’ was inspired by Remus. Some say Fitzgerald and Remus’ fortuitous 1918 meeting began the ‘drums of destiny’. Others believe Fitzgerald gathered plenty of influence from Remus’ many newspaper exposés. In any case, one thing is for sure – it’s a legendary story that calls for an equally legendary sip. Cheers!" —producer

The Armagnac cask finish lends fruity notes of fig, prune, and dried apricot." —producer
