21-YEAR-OLD

The Rio de Janeiro Polo Edition

 Rio de Janeiro, where the vibrant pulse of city life meets the serene beauty of nature. Our latest Polo Edition captures this unique blend, honouring the spirit of the ‘Cariocas’. 

The city that dances until dawn

Just as a Bossa Nova weaves together the smooth sounds of Brazil, the Royal Salute 21 Year Old Rio de Janeiro Polo Edition blend is an intricate balance of flavours that echo the vibrant culture of Rio.

Aged in first-fill Braeval casks, this bespoke blended malt whisky carries floral nuances reminiscent of the city’s lush greenery, harmoniously nuanced with creamy vanilla and coconut notes. This exquisite blend is a tribute to the smooth soundtrack of a city that dances to its own rhythm.
