21-YEAR-OLD

The Lunar New Year Special Edition

The Lunar New Year Special Edition was designed to celebrate the arrival of this momentous occasion.

Rich and luxuriously decadent

This special edition features a stunning array of symbolic elements including lanterns, firecrackers and plum blossoms, to bring you and your family fortune and prosperity in the coming year.

This year Royal Salute partnered with multi-award-winning Chinese illustrator, Feifei Ruan, to interpret the ‘Ignite the New Year’ concept. Born in Shenzhen and now based in New York, Feifei has gained global recognition for her enchanting visual storytelling with a style that combines fantasy, traditional sketching and vibrant colour. Inspired by Lunar New Year celebrations as well as Royal Salute’s rich heritage, Feifei’s design is a fusion of East and West, emulating the explosion of colours and sounds surrounding this exciting time of year.

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

“Royal Salute and the Lunar New Year have history and traditions rooted in celebration – I wanted my illustration to show the two coming together, united by this magical occasion.”
