1970s Royal Stewart 12 Year Old De Luxe 43% Abv

Royal Stewart 12 Year Old De Luxe is a blended Scotch whisky from Stewart & Son of Dundee Ltd., likely bottled in the 1970s. While official tasting notes are scarce, enthusiasts describe it as a classic example of mid-century blended Scotch with a mellow, approachable profile:

Nose: Soft and slightly floral, with hints of dried fruit, vanilla, and a touch of grain sweetness. Some bottles may show a faint sherry influence.

Palate: Light-bodied and smooth, offering notes of toffee, malt, and gentle oak. There’s often a subtle smokiness in the background, typical of older blends.

Finish: Short to medium, with lingering sweetness and a whisper of spice or leather.

It’s not a powerhouse dram, but it carries a nostalgic charm
