The Harris Reed Edition
In the third release of The Fashion Collection, Royal Salute is thrilled to embark upon a new partnership with visionary fashion designer, Harris Reed. Introducing a bold new blend celebrating
the wonder of creativity and freedom of expression in fashion.
Inspired by modern day royalty
The Blend
To create the bespoke blend for The Royal Salute 21-Year-Old Richard Quinn Edition II, Richard visited the historic Strathisla Distillery to conduct a co-blending session with Master Blender,
Sandy Hyslop.
The finest Scotch whiskies from Braeval, Strathisla and Caperdonich distilleries were hand-selected and blended to reflect Richard’s personal palate, creating a balanced and opulent whisky
with a remarkable depth of flavor. Meticulously sampling and selecting a range of the finest 21-year-old whiskies, the pair created the perfect balance of flavors to represent the depth and
maturity of our ongoing partnership
Inspired by Harris’ perception of modern royalty, the collaboration is the embodiment of luxury, regality and craftsmanship, bringing together two worlds that hold these values at their core.
When embarking on the design process for the collaboration, Harris was drawn to the natural parallels between Royal Salute’s regal heritage and his signature feather headpieces, which he
describes as modern day crowns. The feather headpiece became the hero feature of the design, adorning the flagon with a piece of iconography that combined the theatrical word of Harris
Reed with the enchanting kingdom of Royal Salute.
