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