This latest release which features the familiar Ultis flavour profile, but with the addition of Chivas’ signature grain whisky, has been produced to honour five generations of Master Blenders by blending five of Chivas’ most precious single malts.
Chivas Regal Ultis XX, is said to deliver notes of juicy red
apples, raspberry jam, fresh vanilla pods and sweet butter toffee on the nose. Followed
by notes of blossom honey, milk chocolate and poached pears in syrup on the
palate.
Commenting on the launch, Sandy Hyslop, Chivas Master
Blender, said: “Ultis XX is the ultimate tribute to the five generations of
Master Blenders who preceded me in dedicating their life’s work to mastering
Chivas’ iconic house style. Each of the single malts used within this blend
brings their own complexity to the whisky, just like each Master Blender
brought their own unique style to the Chivas blend. With less than 1% of the
millions of casks within our inventory used, and each cask individually
hand-selected and nosed, we have ensured only the highest quality are included
in a blend worthy of a celebration.”
Chivas Regal Ultis XX, will be available later this month from specialist retailers. RRP (tbc).
