　　特別呈獻(xiàn)

　　皇家禮炮

　　作為第一個(gè)超高檔威士忌品牌，皇家禮炮21年于1953年因英女皇伊麗莎白二世的加冕典禮而誕生于世。該名源于一個(gè)古老的傳統(tǒng)——即皇家海軍在典禮上鳴放21響禮炮以表達(dá)對(duì)國家元首最崇高的敬意。皇家禮炮的尊貴在于它將蘇格蘭高地最為珍貴的麥芽威士忌與谷物威士忌進(jìn)行最為完美地融合，并在精心挑選的橡木桶里歷經(jīng)至少21年的時(shí)光醞釀而成。這一切造就了皇家禮炮細(xì)膩的口感與獨(dú)特的韻味，從而受到全世界的推崇與贊賞。

　　不僅富有豐潤醇厚的內(nèi)蘊(yùn)，同時(shí)更兼具雍容華貴的外表是皇家禮炮始終不移的追求。其標(biāo)志性瓷瓶的設(shè)計(jì)理念源自于對(duì)十九世紀(jì)傳統(tǒng)威士忌酒瓶的緬懷，瓶身上篆刻著的傳統(tǒng)蘇格蘭蓋爾語“始于1801年的誠信”則含蓄而堅(jiān)定地展現(xiàn)了其悠遠(yuǎn)的歷史和精誠的品質(zhì)。更為值得一提的是瓶身分別以紅、藍(lán)、綠色來映射不列顛國王皇冠上的紅、藍(lán)、綠三色寶石，在天鵝絨錦囊的映襯下，最終成就了一件完美奪世的極致佳品。

　　皇家禮炮21年所代表的是極致的成就，是無可厚非的尊榮與高雅，是演繹到頂點(diǎn)的精致與華貴。

　　Royal Salute

　　As the first whisky to be launched in the super-premium sector, Royal Salute 21 year old was specially created in 1953 to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of Britain. It derives its name from an ancient tradition - the Royal Navy fires a 21 gun salute at the ceremony as a show of the highest respect to the head-of-state. The most precious malt and grain whiskies selected from Scotland’s highlands were meticulously blended to produce this sumptuous whisky, which is then filled in selected casks to mature for at least 21 years. The result is Royal Salute’s rich flavor and special smoothness, earning it praise and admiration worldwide.

　　Royal Salute is not only full and sumptuous on the inside, but also boasts a luxurious exterior. Its signature porcelain flagons are a tribute to traditional nineteenth-century whisky flagons. Each flagon is emblazoned with the traditional Scottish emblem “A Promise Made in 1801”, quietly yet firmly asserting its illustrious history and exquisite quality. Even more striking are the flagon’s colors of burgundy, blue, and green, chosen to reflect the jewels in the Coronation crown. The flagon is wrapped into an exceptional piece of swan fur, the final touch to Royal Salute’s regal elegance.

　　Royal Salute 21 year old represents superior success, unrivalled class and sophistication, and the ultimate in quality and refinement.
