The first recorded instance of whisky being distilled in Scotland was in 1494, although it was likely being produced long before that. It makes you wonder: What happens when age-old practices meet innovative experimentation?
Take the example of Royal Salute’s latest offering, the Asia-exclusive 24-Year-Old Cognac Cask Finish. It marks a significant evolution for the brand, arguably the country’s most prestigious and well-aged blended whisky label. In recent years, cognac cask finishes have gained traction among distilleries in Scotland, as they offer an intriguing alternative to traditional maturation methods.
These casks, made from fine French oak, impart rich notes of vanilla, spice, and fruit; as well as aromas that can elevate a whisky's character, transforming a traditional whisky into something extraordinary. The trend is fuelled by consumers’ increasing appetite for experimentation and diversity in their drinking experiences. As whisky producers explore innovative cask finishes, they can craft spirits that resonate with both connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.
The 24-Year-Old Cognac Cask Finish is a testament to this trend, a nod to the ever-evolving palate of whisky lovers across the globe. It also showcases the brand's willingness to push the limits of whisky production without forsaking its storied heritage.
