CHIVAS REGAL LAUNCHES NEW LIMITED EDITION ULTIMATE CASK COLLECTION

Chivas Brothers has announced the launch of the first release in its new exclusive to Travel Retail, Chivas Regal 18 Year Old Ultimate Cask Collection.

Chivas Regal 18 Year Old Ultimate Cask Collection First Fill American Oak Finish (48% ABV) is the first limited edition in the new series, which is said to reinterpret the brand’s much celebrated Chivas Regal 18 Year Old expression.

Each limited edition will be finished in varying types of casks to magnify a selection of the 85 flavour notes of the original Chivas Regal 18 Year Old.

The first release in the collection has been finished in first fill American Oak casks, giving the expression more indulgent vanilla and caramel notes with a deep golden hue.

Commenting on the new release, Colin Scott, Chivas Regal Master Blender, said: “For the first edition of the Chivas 18 Ultimate Cask Collection we wanted to create a unique blend that accentuates the most iconic notes of Chivas Regal 18 Year Old, through a special finish in hand-selected First Fill American Oak casks. Designed for the sophisticated palate, the whisky provides a truly balanced taste and a velvet smooth finish.”

Chivas Regal 18 Year Old Ultimate Cask Collection First Fill American Oak Finish, will be available later this month in Travel Retail for a RRP of £82.00.
