Chivas introduces NAS whisky to range

Chivas Regal has launched its first new global expression for seven years, which it claims is one of the “richest, most generous” super-premium Scotch whisky blends.

Chivas Regal Extra will sit between the brand’s 12- and 18-year-old expressions

Chivas Regal Extra, a 40% abv no-age-statement blend of malt and grain whiskies matured in oloroso Sherry casks is described as a “rich and generous Chivas blend for those who look for more”.

Colin Scott, Master blender of Chivas Regal, said: “The mark of its quality lies in its rich and generous taste which we’ve created by using some of our rarest whiskies built on a rich foundation of malts that have been matured in a higher proportion of sherry casks.

“This process delivers a profound depth of flavour and a whisky that showcases the character of this unique blend, taking it to a whole new level.”

The new expression is a permanent addition to the core range and will sit between Chivas Regal 12 Year Old and 18 Year Old.
