Product description
In spring 2020, Chivas Bros. announced the release of the Chivas Extra 13 Collection. It is to consist of four 13-year-old blends, in the creation of which Sandy Hyslop, the master blender of Chivas, used four unique types of casks: Oloroso sherry, American rye whiskey, rum and tequila. The series is inspired by brothers James and John Chivas, importers of rum, oriental spices and food products and producers of blended whiskey. The company was based in Aberdeen, at 13 King Street. The whiskey presented here was "selectively finished in American rye casks", i.e. part of the finished blend spent the final period of maturation in barrels of American rye whiskey. The graphic design of the edition used the works of American pop-culture artist Greg Gossel.
