LOT DESCRIPTION

1 bottle Chivas' Royal Salute 50 Year Old Coronation Cask. Emlazoned with a unique sterling silver plaque, gilded in 24 carot gold, the deep blue porcelain decanter is nestled in a wooden presentation case with silver plaque and certificate. One of only 255 decanters produced. 70cl. 40%. Excellent audible fill level. Excellent condition. This is undoubtedly the most desirable of all the various Royal Salutes released over the years. Bottled to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Queen's coronation and as a tribute to Sir Edmund HIllary and Tenzing Norgay; the first people to reach the summit of everest on 2nd June 1953, the same day as the Queen's coronation. Bottles were specially presented to both Sir Edmund Hillary and Prince Philip. The rest were sold largely through duty free outlets in Asian markets for $9000 a bottle. All bottles are long since sold out and now almost impossible to find. An exceptional piece of craftwork and an exceptional whisky. This is the first time this bottle is appearing in an online whisky auction and its first appearance at any auction for a long time.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, this is not comprehensive and is based on a brief overview. Most items will be described as good or fair, this does not mean it will not exhibit wear or tear. We do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen.

Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in any circumstance. All bottles are checked for authenticity by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.

No item is deemed new and may exhibit wear or tear, however many items are generally in good condition. If an item has notable faults, we will make every effort to mention these in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be on this page.

All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to provide a condition report or date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should not place a bid and notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly. Placing a bid confirms you have checked the Lot and are satisfied.
