Chivas 13yo
Chivas Regal Extra 13 Year Old Oloroso Sherry / 40%
In the early spring of 2020, the company Chivas Bros. announced the Chivas Extra 13 Collection series consisting of four 13-year-old blends, in the creation of which Sandy Hyslop, Chivas' master blender, used four unique types of barrels: Oloroso sherry, American rye whiskey, rum and tequila. The collection is inspired by the company's founders, brothers James and John Chivas, importers of rums, oriental spices and foodstuffs, and producers of their own blended whisky. The company was based in Aberdeen, at 13 King Street. The edition presented here is the jewel in the crown of the new collection, a whisky "selectively matured in Oloroso sherry casks," which we understand to mean that a portion of each batch was finished in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks.
Aroma
a little subdued at first, apples, pears, honeydew melon, sherry notes, raisins, caramel, nut nougat, milk chocolate, a touch of cinnamon and candied ginger.
TASTE
sweet, caramel, vanilla, sugared nuts and almonds, maple syrup, chocolate-covered raisins, pears, nectarines, a trace of pipe tobacco and a fading smoky note.
FINISH
