Chivas brings a brand new blend to The Philippines - introducing the new Chivas Extra 13 collection, a brand-new line of Blended Scotch whiskies!
Perfected by Chivas’ master blender, Sandy Hyslop, these blended whiskies are differentiated from the rest with their unique finishes thanks to special casks which really give it that extra kick.
Not only is it aged for 13 years while the classic Chivas blend takes 12, but its distinct flavours come from Sherry and Rye casks. There are two blends that you can test out to see which best fits your personality and taste. First, the Chivas Extra 13 flavoured with Oloroso Sherry. It’s rich, and somewhat intense but complemented with bright and sweet notes like vanilla, caramel and even some nutty notes like almond. You’ll discover the taste of ripe pears, and syrup hidden in the mix too, plus a dash of spice that adds to the blend’s character.
A cold evening calls for a luxurious warming libation. High-end bourbon, single malt Scotch and cognac are very satisfying, but they can be quite expensive.
Consider Spanish brandy, a potion that has been in production since the Moors inhabited the region in the 16th century. What is brandy? While bourbon is distilled from grain, and Scotch is distilled from smoky malted barley, brandy is distilled from fruit, usually white grapes, and is made all over the world. Cognac is brandy made only in the legally defined area of the same name in France.
Spanish brandy is worth considering for its quality and reasonable price. Most is made in the Jerez area near the southern coast framed by the towns of towns of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa Maria and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The area is justifiably famous for its production of the fortified wine sherry, which gets its name from historical mispronunciation of Jerez.
