This bottling of a 21-year-old blended Scotch whisky by Chivas Brothers was produced under the name The Lost Blend. The whisky contains various distillates from so-called lost distilleries, i.e. old closed and therefore lost distilleries. The blend itself was released especially for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The name is reminiscent of the Tower of London's 21-shot salute. The colour of the porcelain decanter (red, green, blue) reflects the colours of the precious stones of the Crown Jewels.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
