Chivas Legends Dinner 2013

Chivas Regal is one of the world’s most classic scotch brands out there. The classic blended scotch has been a fan favorite anywhere people go and is always housed in bars throughout the world. The brand offers their great scotch product in a 12 year aged bottle, 18 year aged bottle , and 25 year aged bottle. Since 2007 there has bee nothing new from Chivas Regal until now, with the company finally releasing a brand new product called Chivas Regal Extra, which is changing up the flavors and blend to bring brand lovers a fresh take on an old product.

The Chivas Regal Extra scotch type offers some intensely spicy flavors unlike the other options the company offers. The new Chivas blend was created through maturing malt whiskies in Oloroso sherry casks for a long period of time to get the proper age and great taste out of them.  The company has used some of their rarest whiskies to create the Chivas Regal blend and if offers a unique and luxurious new take on the brand. The Extra blend offers spicy notes but also a fruity and sweet smell that is of ripe pears and creamy toffee with ginger, cinnamon and almonds as well.

Chivas Regal is really trying to refresh their brand and bring a fresh product to the table with the new Extra scotch. The company wants to be innovative and remind United States and worldwide customers why they love the Chivas brand. The Chivas Regal Extra is going to be released later this year around the United States and will hit shelves with a $70 price. This is a fair amount for a top scotch that can compete with some of the top types of Johnnie Walker and Yamazaki. It will be exciting when the Chivas Regal Extra finally releases and starts receiving reviews.
