Royal Salute Time Chamber by Conrad Shawcross 53 Year Old 41.5 abv NV

Bottle #12 of 21

The second chapter in the ‘The Art of Wonder’ collection, this whisky is a blend of the most precious whiskies in the Royal Salute portfolio, aged for an astonishing 53 years, resulting in one of the oldest Royal Salute whiskies ever released. collaborate with critically acclaimed British artist Conrad Shawcross, to produce an ultra-limited-edition collector’s item inspired by his unique perspective on the illustrious Royal Salute portfolio of aged whiskies.

One of just 21 ever produced, each piece features a magnificent hand-spun glass disk connected to a crystal decanter and oak spindle that pierces the centre of the disk. The construction of the piece represents ‘a vector of time’ that implies strong directionality, a way for Shawcross to demonstrate how Time simultaneously operates in many ways.

Designed to be displayed at an angle, the piece casts spectacular shadows when under a light source, unlocking another dimension of revelation and allure within the sculpture – a truly remarkable art piece fit for the contemporary collector.

Remarkably long with a subtle hint of spice.
