From an introduction to the brand’s exclusive range of blended whiskies to an exhilarating game of polo and more in between, here’s what went down
Dubai elite, polo greats, whiskey connoisseurs, and local and international media, all gathered at Al Habtoor Polo Resort in Dubai from April 26 to 28, 2019, as Royal Salute paid tribute to the world of polo. The three-day event promised “spiritual” recourse, adrenalin rush, and lasting friendships.
Get into the spirit
The three-day shindig kicked off with a toast—an exclusive tasting of Royal Salute whiskies.
As we sniffed, swirled and took a sip from the four taster glasses in front of us, Peter Prentice, Royal Salute VIP Relationships Director, walked us through the history of Scotch from the 1800s, “the key time of Scotch with the cognac industry suffering a sudden demise”, to the first Royal Salute whiskey launched by Chivas Brothers.
