Chivas Brothers - Royal Salute

[Gomez]

Hello,

I have a bottle of Chivas Brothers - Scottish Whisky - Royal Salute - i would greatly appreciate and information regarding history & valuation.

Please see the attached pics.

The bottle also has an interesting history... In around 1976 the bottle was a gift to my grandfather who at the time was the Lord Chief Justice of Malaysia. In 1976 he sent the bottle to London where it is still kept today.
I am assuming the bottle is at least 54 years old as the whisky was aged to 21 years when bottled.

Any thoughts ???

Many Thanks,
Jim

Your bottle was produced by Spode who made the flagons between 1959 and 1983. If the bottle was purchased in 1976, it is 33 years old - as you do not count the age of the whisky. Whisky.com does not do valuations, but just to let you know, today's retail value for a bottle of Royal Salute is £90 - £100. For a value, try contacting Bonhams.com or McTears.com Let us know!

With regards to valuation, of your bottle of Royal Salute was produce around 1970's double check who made a bottle itself. They used to be made by Wade and that would increase in value for another £50.00.

Hello, I dug out a bottle of Royal Salute 21 (blue bottle made by Wade) in my parents's cellar. The stamped # on the top seal is "LF7 0047". I'm wondering if you can help me find out when was it bottled. Thanks a million! Simone

I know this is an old thread but I am still hoping that someone can help me date this bottle.

I had given this bottle to my father about 9 years ago after finding it in my father-In laws condo after he passed away. The bottle was in the bag but there was no box. This was just a bottle of scotch to me & I hadn't yet developed a taste for it. Over thanksgiving my father brought the bottle out & explained what it was. He had just recently learned that this was a bottle of Chivas 21 Royal Salute.

Now, I would like to figure out how old this bottle actually is. Is this bottle porcelain or the ceramic variety? You will also notice that there is no 21 embossed on the label either. I have seen pictures of other bottles from the 1976 range with the 21. Was there a time when the 21 didn't appear on the label?

The bottle is still unopened but unfortunately some of the scotch must have evaporated over the years because the bottle feels a little light.

Also if this bottle is rarer that the average bottle what is it worth?
