Chivas Regal Extra 13 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky, 70cl With Gift Box

Product Information

I thought it’d be interesting to share some of Sandy Hyslop’s thoughts about his blending process. Keep in mind that all his quotes pertain to the Tequila release, but much of it can be extrapolated to his team’s approach for all the Chivas Regal Extra 13 releases.

Specifically I talked to him about the Chivas Regal Extra 13 Tequila, because at the time they were one of the few (and still are) larger whisky brands to have had released such a whisky.

CHIVAS EXTRA 13 - Chivas Regal

I’m fully confident the Chivas Regal Extra 13 Tequila isn’t horrendous, but I can’t testify to that, because I’ve not tried it yet. Instead I’ll settle for another from the range. Chivas Regal Extra 13 Rye Cask (40%, OB, 2021) Any way you like! If you’re looking for something short and strong the Extra Manhattan is for you, but for a super fresh sip, try the Mint Julep. No, Chivas Extra 13 Rum Cask Selection* is a blended Scotch whisky – our expert blending team add a proportion of our Scotch into a barrel that previously held rum. Rather than creating a whisky and rum fusion, finishing Scotch in rum casks like this enhances the sweet flavours already in our blend.Whenever the casks for the Chivas Regal Extra 13 Tequila Cask would arrive from Mexico, Hyslop and a member of his team went out and nose all the individual casks to make sure they were of a required standard. “There’s nothing worse than maturing whisky for many years and then putting it into casks that do something despicable to the whisky. We’re making sure they haven’t gone sour, or if there are any sulphury notes or strange creamy off-notes. But we were pleased with what we found. They were freshly emptied and were able to get some sweet tropical notes of them, which was just perfect.” Genel Yorum :Chivas Regal Extra 13, Oloroso ve meşe etkisinin belirgin olduğu kolay içimli yumuşak aromatik bir harman. While Hyslop is undeniable pleased with the Chivas Regal Extra 13 Tequila Cask, he doesn’t see a full tequila cask finish in Chivas Regal’s future. “At the end of the day the Scotch Whisky Association guidelines say that if you finish in another type of cask, you must be able to still have the original characteristics of Scotch whisky in the product. We wouldn’t want to completely swamp it. If I was maybe going to do something like that, I might use a different kind of cask and send them out to Mexico to have tequila put in them. But I think a selective finish is more sophisticated.” Chivas Regal Extra 13 Tequila Cask (40%, OB, 2021)

Hyslop mentions the tequila casks have had an influence on the Chivas Regal Extra 13 Tequila Cask he hasn’t seen before. “It is important to recognize as well that it wasn’t even a full finish. We had a double control over the flavor that tequila was bringing. We controlled the samples, but I also had the flexibility to say: We’ll only use so much of that finish with our standard blend to get the balance just perfect. I’m completely obsessed with making sure that people who drink and enjoy Chivas still get that DNA. It has that foundation of Chivas but with an extra dimension.” Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

According to Hyslop there are all sorts of challenges when it comes to working with the tequila casks for the Chivas Regal Extra 13 Tequila Cask. Some are general challenges, other specific to the cask type. “There’s always a risk of leakage when bringing casks all the way round the world in a container”, he explains. “You also need to make sure that the cask you have coming are in good condition. I always stipulate that I want the casks to be freshly emptied. I don’t want tequila casks that’ve been lying outside for three years and are tequila by name but not by flavor.
