Every Chivas Regal whisky has its own unique formula and selection of aged whiskies, with their own character, flavour and taste experience. Chivas Extra 13 Sherry Cask Selection is a rich yet sweet whisky that adds a deeper layer of flavour to the luxurious Chivas house style. A portion of this blended Scotch whisky is matured in Oloroso sherry casks, bringing rich and intense Mediterranean flavours to our whisky. Taste: Gentle with a good amount of juicy pears as well as some apricots, but then there is some sweet ginger as well, followed by orange liqueur from the grain elements. The Rum Casks Finish is sweet and spicy. The nose begins with notes of molasses, dark brown sugar and exotic fruits. it is rich and elegant, without the sweetness overwhelming the flavours.The nose starts off pretty thin, yet complex. Rich notes of orange rind, Spring honey, and rye spice make themselves known. Also present are notes that remind me a little of ivory soap, and then spice cake. Palate Whenever the casks for the Chivas Regal Extra 13 Tequila Cask would arrive from Mexico, Hyslop and a member of his team went out and nose all the individual casks to make sure they were of a required standard. “There’s nothing worse than maturing whisky for many years and then putting it into casks that do something despicable to the whisky. We’re making sure they haven’t gone sour, or if there are any sulphury notes or strange creamy off-notes. But we were pleased with what we found. They were freshly emptied and were able to get some sweet tropical notes of them, which was just perfect.”

I thought it’d be interesting to share some of Sandy Hyslop’s thoughts about his blending process. Keep in mind that all his quotes pertain to the Tequila release, but much of it can be extrapolated to his team’s approach for all the Chivas Regal Extra 13 releases. Chivas Extra 13 Tequila Cask Selection is an exceptionally smooth whisky that adds a new layer of flavour to the luxurious Chivas house style. Finishing a portion of our blended Scotch whisky in tequila barrels is sure to take your taste buds on an adventure. The range includes four new blends, all aged to 13 years and matured in different wyas; Rum, American Rye, Tequila and Oloroso Sherry. The four new releases in this range offer fans the chance to really appreciate the masterful skills that the Chivas team have at creating blends. The nose brims with fruit flavours of melon, apples and pears. They are sweet and tangy. This is tempered by a nice spicy sherry note full if cinnamon and ginger.Genel Yorum :Chivas Regal Extra 13, Oloroso ve meşe etkisinin belirgin olduğu kolay içimli yumuşak aromatik bir harman.

We controlled the samples, but I also had the flexibility to say: We’ll only use so much of that finish with our standard blend to get the balance just perfect. I’m completely obsessed with making sure that people who drink and enjoy Chivas still get that DNA. It has that foundation of Chivas but with an extra dimension.” Hyslop mentions the tequila casks have had an influence on the Chivas Regal Extra 13 Tequila Cask he hasn’t seen before. “It is important to recognize as well that it wasn’t even a full finish. We had a double control over the flavor that tequila was bringing. We controlled the samples, but I also had the flexibility to say: We’ll only use so much of that finish with our standard blend to get the balance just perfect. I’m completely obsessed with making sure that people who drink and enjoy Chivas still get that DNA. It has that foundation of Chivas but with an extra dimension.” The nose starts off with delicate notes of pineapple and oak wood. Orchard fruits also appear, with apples and pears coming through. Any way you like! If you’re looking for something short and strong the Extra Manhattan is for you, but for a super fresh sip, try the Mint Julep.

While Hyslop is undeniable pleased with the Chivas Regal Extra 13 Tequila Cask, he doesn’t see a full tequila cask finish in Chivas Regal’s future. “At the end of the day the Scotch Whisky Association guidelines say that if you finish in another type of cask, you must be able to still have the original characteristics of Scotch whisky in the product. We wouldn’t want to completely swamp it. If I was maybe going to do something like that, I might use a different kind of cask and send them out to Mexico to have tequila put in them. But I think a selective finish is more sophisticated.” Chivas Regal Extra 13 Tequila Cask (40%, OB, 2021) No, Chivas Extra 13 Rum Cask Selection* is a blended Scotch whisky – our expert blending team add a proportion of our Scotch into a barrel that previously held rum.
