Monarchists with deep pockets and a fine palate for scotch could toast to the queen with her very own blended spirit.
Distiller John Walker & Sons will be bottling 60 crystal decanters of Diamond Jubilee Blended Scotch Whisky to mark the Queen‘s 60 years on the throne next year.
The grain and malt whiskies have been maturing in a marrying cask of English oak from the Queen’s Sandringham Estate since 1952.
The 60 crystal decanters will be sold for a pretty pence at £100,000 at a private sale by invitation only.

The Glenlivet 70 Years Old is touted as the follow-up to their Mortlach single malt launched last year — the oldest in the world, say Gordon & MacPhail.
Like its predecessor which spent 70 years aging in a cask, The Glenlivet is also a septuagenarian single malt which has been maturing quietly in its cask since February 3, 1940, when it was first put to bed by company forefather John Urquhart.
Dalmore have released a unique Eos 59 Year Old Single Malt to join up the extreme vintages of the Highland distillery.
Called Eos after the Titan goddess of the dawn, this 59-year-old scotch is bottled form the same pair of sherry casks that filled the Selene last year.
Only 20 special decanters of the Dalmore Eos 59-Year-Old Single Malt will be made available, with each costing £13,000 ($20,000).
Scotland base whisky maker The Macallan will produce an ultra-exclusive limited edition bottling of precious whisky distilled in 1946 as part of its upcoming Albert Watson collaboration, priced at $16,000 apiece.
The offering stems from the Macallan’s Masters of Photography series, which the Scottish-born Watson is helming in its second iteration.
Only 36 bottles of the rare 64-year-old single malt Scotch will be available early next year along with a one-of-a-kind platinum print from Watson’s project for the distillery.
British designer Vivienne Westwood is the latest to create a special packaging for Chivas Regal‘s 18 year Scotch bottle.
The last limited edition bottle was designed by Christian Lacroix and the design was more traditional.
The limited edition of Chivas Regal 18 will sell for around the 200 Euro mark, and will be available for Christmas 2010 and into the new year.
The first bottle of whisky to break the six figure price barrier has been revealed by The Dalmore distillery which has sold two bottles for £100,000…each.
The 64 year old Trinitas, named because there were three bottles produced, was acquired by a luxury whisky lover in the US and a whisky investor in the UK.
The third bottle of the record breaking spirit will be sold at the Whisky Show in London at the end of October. But organisers are keeping the exact details of the exclusive sale under wraps for the moment.
