Royal Salute is the luxury Scotch whisky originally created for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Known for beginning where others end, Royal Salute starts at 21 years old, making it one of the world’s true prestige blends. Named after the 21-gun salute reserved for royalty, Royal Salute was crafted in 1953 as a tribute to the Queen. Its age statement has remained a defining hallmark: every bottle contains whisky no younger than 21 years, with many components being older.
Crafted with a deep respect for tradition and pursuit of perfection, Royal Salute is renowned for its rich, complex character and regal presentation. Each bottle is a celebration of heritage, blending rare aged whiskies from across Scotland to create a majestic spirit.
The brand is now putting major focus on the Philippine market. As Manila’s dining and bar scene surges—bolstered by Michelin’s arrival and more local bars reaching Asia’s 50 Best—Filipino drinkers are seeking higher-aged and more refined spirits. Prestige whisky is growing fast, and Royal Salute sees an opportunity to reintroduce its heritage to an increasingly sophisticated market.
Royal Salute invites you to its first-ever pop-up experience in the Philippines, located at the Greenbelt 5 Fashion Center in Makati City. This exclusive event welcomes a new generation of whisky lovers and marks the brand’s expansion into the Filipino luxury scene. From the iconic 21-Year-Old blend to rare, limited-edition releases, indulge in exclusive tasting experiences available only during this unveiling.

Inside Royal Salute’s new pop-up experience, guests can explore its featured whiskies and global collaborations—from fashion-designed bottles such as the Harris Reed Edition, to its Polo Collection, including the pastel-hued Miami Polo Edition with tropical notes, and the Rio de Janeiro Polo Edition with bolder, spicier flavors. Also on display is the ultra-rare 62 Gun Salute, a 40-year-old whisky with only 500 bottles worldwide (four of which are in the Philippines).
The Royal Salute Experience pop-up booth will be open to the public from November 7 to December 23, offering a rare opportunity to explore the brand’s most distinguished blends through curated tasting.
Just in time for the festive season, guests can also enjoy bespoke gifting services. Exclusive purchase perks include a personalized leather coaster or bottle charm with every bottle purchase; custom gifting options such as branded paper bags and gift cards; bottle engraving services that are available on weekends only.
Visit the Royal Salute Experience until December 23, 2025 and discover the perfect blend of heritage, flavor, and festive luxury. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or new to the world of fine whisky, this is your invitation to taste, gift, and celebrate in royal style.
