Ultra-rare scotch NFT drops as the oldest whisky ever released on BlockBar: The Royal Salute Time Series 51 year old release
Wazzup Pilipinas!?
Royal Salute, the master of exceptionally aged Scotch, drops the oldest whisky NFT on BlockBar (blockbar.com), the world’s first direct-to-consumer NFT marketplace for luxury wine and spirits. The ultra-limited Royal Salute Time Series 51 Year Old 2021 Release is a blend of some of the finest and scarcest hand-selected whiskies, laid down no later than 1970 and sourced across famed and ‘ghost’ distilleries of bygone eras.
Exclusively dropping bottle number #85, from only 101 crystal decanters of the Time Series 51 Year Old 2021 Release, this marks the first ever NFT from Royal Salute. This unique release is one of the rarest expressions in the entire Royal Salute portfolio, and to celebrate this, it has been adorned with a 24-carat gold plaque detailing the luxury whisky’s first foray into the world of NFTs, and bears the signature of Royal Salute Master Blender Sandy Hyslop.
In addition to the one-off flagon, the token will also unlock an invitation to experience a private tasting with Sandy Hyslop, complete with a 5cl miniature of the high-aged blend, making this enchanting Scotch even more of a collector’s piece. Lastly, an exclusive guided tour of the renowned Strathisla Distillery in Scotland’s iconic Speyside region, luxury overnight stay and dinner for two is also included in the sale, complete with a tasting experience of the wider Royal Salute portfolio of exceptional blends in the Royal Salute Vault, where the Scotch’s most precious expressions are kept.
This special release has a distinctive flavour profile that has developed over five decades and was perfected thanks to the intricate nurturing and expert craft of Sandy Hyslop. The distinctive amber whisky has been bottled at cask strength and is non-chill filtered, to preserve it at its purest form. It exudes notes of blood orange partnered with the sweetness of aged oak, salted caramel and precious Manuka honey flavor, followed by a subtleness of sweet hickory smoke, peach and bergamot.
Mathieu Deslandes, Royal Salute Global Marketing Director, commented: “Royal Salute is dedicated to sparking emotion and enchantment in every encounter, be it in the physical or digital world. We are always exploring new ways to innovate and connect with today’s luxury consumers; we couldn’t be more energised to be launching the highest-aged Scotch whisky ever released on BlockBar, and opening the doors to our world to even more whisky aficionados.”
The unique NFT is being offered exclusively through BlockBar.com, and represents the pinnacle of blended Scotch whisky, whether it is acquired for personal enjoyment, investment purposes or securing a rare and unique item for whisky connoisseurs and NFT collectors. Upon purchase, the cryptographic version will be held securely by BlockBar, with a record of authenticity held on the blockchain as a digital certificate of ownership. Alternatively, the buyer can claim the real-world physical product and experience, or safely trade the NFT within the BlockBar platform.
“We are delighted Royal Salute has chosen to partner with BlockBar to drop their first ever NFT. This special Time Series 51 Year Old signed by Sandy Hyslop is our first ever blended Scotch, and the oldest whisky to drop on BlockBar.com to date, so we’re creating a new legacy for both brands”, said Dov Falic, CEO and co-Founder of BlockBar.
