![]() Only a token amount was left over to create sample sizes that will be distributed to the collectors around the world who buy the 21 bottles. The Scotch whisky blend is so rare - only Scott has actually tasted it - that nearly all of it was used to fill the 21 bottles. The Scotch whisky was blended by Royal Salute's master blender, Colin Scott (seen to the right with Stephen Webster), who used only the most exquisite, precious and scarce whiskies, all aged for a minimum of 45 years, which were found in the Royal Salute Vault at Strathisla. French porcelain maker Revol needed to produce 400 bottles to find 21 perfect examples, according to Macdonald. The manufacturing process of the opulent black porcelain vessels was a complicated one as aeronautical engineers were consulted so that it would be possible to adorn each one with jewels. The diamonds were handset individually in gold and silver - with a design that depicts the three symbols of Scottish power - the Sceptre, the Sword and the Crown. Once a design was settled upon, each bottle was painstakingly decorated with more than 22 carats of flawless black and white diamonds (413 diamonds in total). To create the bottle for the luxury Scotch whisky, Royal Salute turned to Stephen Webster, world-renowned jewelry designer and Creative Director of Garrard, the oldest royal jeweler, which was founded 275 years ago. This is the richest, rarest whisky and we needed a worthy way of presenting it." "It is not like a commercial extension as such - it is a labor of love. "This has been almost three years in the making," says Neil Macdonald, Royal Salute's Global Brand Director (seen above). Topping off the weekend was the historic Sentebale Polo Cup, sponsored by Royal Salute, in which HRH Prince Harry played against his brother, HRH Prince William, also known as the Duke of Cambridge.Īt a retail price of $200,000 per bottle, and with only 21 bottles made, the limited edition Scotch whisky pays special tribute to the Honours of Scotland, which are the Scottish Crown Jewels and the oldest crown jewels of the British Isles. Indeed, the launch this past weekend in London of Royal Salute's Tribute to Honour, considered to be the most expensive, luxurious Scotch whisky ever made, concurred during the same weekend as many important festivities celebrating the royal family - from Prince Phillip's 90th birthday and the new title of Lord High Admiral which was bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II to the anniversary of the Queen's coronation.
