Royal Salute has announced the launch of a new 21 Year Old Lunar New Year Special Edition bottle.

The Royal Salute 21 Year Old Lunar New Year 2026 Edition (40% ABV) which is a limited-edition release comprised of the brand’s signature blended Scotch whisky, has been bottled to celebrate the Year of the Horse.

This year’s edition, themed “Ignite the New Year”, features an illustration by award-winning British artist Emily Carter. Renowned for her intricate, nature-inspired designs and commitment to artisanal quality, Carter has masterfully woven a narrative of boundless energy and joy into the packaging.

The design bursts with bold blooms, dazzling fireworks and graceful butterflies, symbolising good fortune, rebirth and prosperity. Traditional motifs such as elegant cranes, vibrant peonies and festive lanterns intertwine with royal icons including majestic lions and the historic Tower of London, reflecting Royal Salute’s rich heritage while igniting the promise of a prosperous year ahead.

Rooted in a tradition of celebration, the Chivas Brothers owned Royal Salute was first created as a tribute to the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. This enduring legacy continues with the Lunar New Year Edition, designed to inspire unforgettable moments.

Commenting on the launch, Sandy Hyslop, Royal Salute’s Master Blender Emeritus, said: “The Lunar New Year is a time of vibrant celebration, rich tradition and the promise of new beginnings. Our Lunar New Year Edition, featuring Emily Carter’s extraordinary artistry, perfectly encapsulates this spirit of grand celebration. Royal Salute has always been crafted for the most momentous occasions, and this exquisite expression offers those celebrating the perfect toast to prosperity and joy, making every Lunar New Year gathering truly unforgettable.”

The Royal Salute 21 Year Old Lunar New Year 2026 Edition is now available from select specialist retailers, for a RRP of £200.00.
