Chivas Extra 13 year old Tequila Cask, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2020 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky
The nose is strikingly different than what is typical of Chivas Regal; aside from tequila, there are a lot of floral notes, perfumed soaps, Jaffa orange, and a little pepper. Pear and tequila notes on the palate reverberate around a central hub of spice before sweetness breaks through, surfing a wave of orange, grapefruit juice, and fresh green apple. A very smooth drink; this is sweet, spicy, and invigorating.
