ROYAL SALUTE luxury blended Scotch whisky staged by still life photographer and director Sam HOFMAN c/o MAKING PICTURES

With the Chivas ROYAL SALUTE Times Series 51 Year Old, the legendary whisky brand Royal Salute from the company Chivas presents its second strictly limited bottling of the exclusive Times Series collection. Sam HOFMAN c/o MAKING PICTURES staged the exquisite bottle like a flacon in a video with thrilling lighting accents and dramatic music.

In 1953, the young Princess Elizabeth ascended the throne. The occasion called for a tribute fit for a queen, which is why an exquisite blend was created using whisky from Strathisla, the oldest working distillery in the Scottish Highlands. It was given the name Royal Salute – after the famous 21-gun-salute – and so began the story of a remarkable whisky.
