There, Master Distiller Colin Scott, who has over 40 years of experience in the industry, continues the Chivas Brothers tradition which began nearly two centuries ago.
Today, along with the Royal Salute brand, Royal Salute calls Strathisla Distillery in Speyside, Scotland its home. The duo released their first blend, Royal Glen Dee, in the 1850s, followed shortly thereafter by Royal Strathythan, each providing a springboard for future Chivas Brothers creations. Unsatisfied with the products currently available on the market, James and John began experimenting with their own proprietary blends, quickly building a reputation as pioneers in the art of whisky blending. James and John Chivas, who joined the family business in the mid-19th century, noticed a growing demand among their affluent customers for a smoother whisky. Widely considered the finest purveyors in all of Scotland, in 1843 Chivas Brothers was granted a royal warrant to provide goods to Queen Victoria. In addition to selling high-end food, coffee and spices, the store offered French brandies and Caribbean rums to its wealthy clientele. Royal Salute traces its roots back to 1801 when Chivas Brothers was established as an upscale grocery store in the Scottish town of Aberdeen.
