This year Royal Salute partnered with renowned Chinese illustrator and visual designer, Trajan Jia, to interpret the ‘Ignite the New Year’ concept. Born in China and now based in London, Trajan’s work is defined by eastern aesthetics with a contemporary twist. His exquisitely intricate visuals take inspiration from Chinese traditional painting, literature and historical culture. Inspired by Lunar New Year celebrations as well as Royal Salute’s rich heritage, Trajan’s design features a stunning array of illustrations taken from cultures across Asia as a symbol of this wonderous global occasion.

Tasting notes

NOSE

Powerful aromas of sweet pears and citrus fruits are balanced with the full fragrance of autumn flowers. Elegant aromas of sweet vanilla and dry oak are enhanced with subtle notes of sherry and smoke.

PALATE

Rich, Full, deep fruity flavours with a subtle smokiness. The first taste of Royal Salute brings the subtleties of the nose to life. Sumptuous sweet orange and marmalade flavours infused with fresh pears burst across the tongue. The second taste brings in a rich medley of spices and a nuttiness of hazelnuts that have a mouth-filling intensity and then the final warmth from hints of masculine smokiness.

FINISH

Dry and slightly spicy

‘With my design, I aimed to capture the spirit of this wonderous occasion, the joy of people coming together to celebrate something truly magical. Combining cultural symbols of the festival with the rich heritage of Royal Salute, the illustration embodies the union of two enchanting worlds.’
