Royal Salute Project Silk. Batch 01. Exclusive Selection. 50cl. 40%. In presentation box and bag.
An unusual Royal Salute bottling from the brand's Exclusive Selection, identified as Project Silk, Batch 01 and bottled at 40% in a 50cl format.
Project Silk was connected with the development and launch of Royal Salute The Eternal Reserve, introduced in 2015. This bottle contains the very first batch of The Eternal Reserve and was distributed in advance of the whisky becoming commercially available.
The bottle is accordingly marked “Not For Sale”, having been produced as a pre-release presentation rather than for sale to the general public. The recipients were being given the opportunity to try the whisky several months before it became available in shops and bars.
The Eternal Reserve introduced Royal Salute's Circular Blending process, whereby a portion of the original blend was retained and incorporated into each subsequent batch. Royal Salute selected 88 original casks for the project, with part of this whisky set aside to provide continuity between future batches.
This Batch 01 bottle therefore represents the beginning of The Eternal Reserve project, containing whisky from the original 2015 blend before the expression entered general commercial release.
Chivas Brothers is the Scotch whisky arm of Pernod Ricard, the world’s second-largest drinks company. From humble beginnings as an Aberdeen grocer and wine merchant, Chivas gained Royal Warrants in the 1840s and grew into an established whisky broker and blender. The iconic Chivas Regal brand first appeared in 1909 as a luxury 25-year-old blended whisky for the US market.
In the 1930s, Chivas Regal was relaunched as a 12-year-old blend. Canadian multinational Seagrams bought Chivas Brothers in 1949, and the famous Royal Salute 21-year-old was launched in 1952. Pernod Ricard took over Chivas Brothers in 2001, and today the company’s portfolio includes over a dozen Scotch whisky distilleries including Glenlivet, Aberlour, Strathisla, Longmorn and Scapa.
Whisky-Online Auctions is a public auction for collectible spirits. Lots are offered for sale in their existing condition and bidders are expected to satisfy themselves as to the condition, authenticity, description and suitability of any Lot before placing a bid.
Although a condition report is normally included within the Lot description, prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect Lots in person prior to bidding. If this is not possible and further information is required, bidders should use the "Ask A Question" facility to request clarification or a more detailed condition report before bidding.
All Lots are sold strictly "as seen" and "as described". Any condition report, commentary, dating estimate, provenance information or opinion provided by Whisky-Online Auctions is offered in good faith and represents our assessment at the time of cataloguing. Such information should not be considered a guarantee or warranty.
Whisky-Online Auctions reserves the right to amend, correct, supplement or clarify any catalogue description, image or other Lot information, and to withdraw, combine or divide Lots, at any time prior to the conclusion of the auction. Bidders are responsible for reviewing the final Lot description and any updates issued before bidding.
Due to the age and nature of collectible spirits, natural deterioration may occur over time, including evaporation, ullage, leakage, cork deterioration, capsule degradation, label wear and oxidation. The condition of the liquid, closure, seal and packaging is entirely at the buyer's discretion and risk. Whisky-Online Auctions makes no warranty as to the drinkability, taste, quality or suitability for consumption of any Lot.
All bottles are inspected prior to sale and, unless otherwise stated, are sealed. However, Whisky-Online Auctions cannot guarantee the integrity of any cork, seal, stopper or closure.
Images form part of the description and depict the actual Lot being offered. Where visible, fill levels will be shown in the images and/or 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. Information relating to bottle age, bottling period, vintage, provenance, rarity and historical background is provided to the best of our knowledge based on available research and industry experience. Any date or bottling period assigned to a Lot represents our opinion at the time of cataloguing and should not be considered a guarantee or warranty.
Any questions relating to condition, authenticity, provenance, fill level, dating or packaging must be raised before bidding. Questions or concerns raised after a bid has been placed, after the auction has ended, or after a Lot has been won will not constitute grounds for cancelling a bid, refusing payment or disputing the sale.
By placing a bid, bidders confirm that they have reviewed the description and images, sought any additional information they require, and are satisfied with the Lot. All sales are final except where required otherwise by law or under the Whisky-Online Auctions Terms and Conditions.
