We’re proud to share that Royal Cabinet 20 Years has been awarded a Master medal at this year’s Scotch Whisky Masters — recognised in the Blended Scotch (19–30 Years) category.

Judged blind by a panel of industry experts, Royal Cabinet stood out for its depth, structure, and balance. In the words of judges David Carruthers:

“Rich and robust, well-balanced with lingering sweetness. An excellent blend.”

Thank you to all the judges and The Spirits Business for the recognition of this brilliant blend.
