Chivas Regal XV 15 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky, 70cl

Product Information

Chivas Regal 25: Created using whiskies aged at least 25 years; available only in limited quantities. [7] Today I look at something relatively new. Not a new brand, Chivas Regal has been one of the best selling whiskies globally, but a new release. Launched in 2018, Chivas XV whisky is a 15 yo blended whisky that has been finished in casks that previously held Grande Champagne Cognac. Chivas Regal signed a three-year sponsorship deal with the British Premier League football team Manchester United in August 2018. [21] As a follow-up in October 2019, it created a special Manchester United-themed 13-year-old blended Scotch whisky in honour of former team manager Sir Alex Ferguson. Partly matured in ex-rye casks, this expression was created exclusively for the US where Manchester United reportedly has over eight million fans. [22] A delicious blend. I opened this bottle towards the end of December, and I don’t think it will see the middle of February. The only bottle we finished faster was the Ardbeg An Oa. It is delicious and drinkable. I missed the sherry notes from the Chivas Extra a bit, but the creamy mouth made up for the loss. This bottle will make a perfect gift for a whisky lover. The cognac finish makes it luxurious; however, it remains easy drinking. The Chivas XV is not overly complicated or intimidating, but approachable and delicious. The XV whisky cost about R520 in SA, which I don’t think is too expensive for a 15 yo dram.

If you are a fan of premium whisky, then you need look no further than Chivas Regal. Founded in 1909 in Aberdeen, this distillery takes only the finest ingredients for use in its beverages, resulting in a whisky with both a beautiful texture and flavour. Chivas Regal whisky is created using a higher malt content that many other brands use, which results in a more complex and deeper taste that is unique in the industry. Though now the formula is sweeter, the brand has still retained its signature flavour. From the latest releases by Chivas Regal, this new Chivas Regal XV is, for me, the most interesting. Using the cognac barrel has an effect and a great influence on the whisky, giving the brand’s profile a new twist.
