Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a Braeval cask?
Braeval is one of the five single malts at the heart of Chivas Regal's Ultis expression — a light, floral, and delicate Highland single malt. First-fill Braeval casks impart a uniquely fresh, floral, and creamy character that perfectly captures the lush, vibrant spirit of Rio de Janeiro.
How does the Rio edition differ from other Polo Editions?
Each Polo Edition uses a different cask finish to reflect the character of its destination. The Rio edition uses first-fill Braeval casks for a floral, creamy, and coconut-forward character. The Miami edition uses first-fill rye and bourbon casks for a fresh, vanilla-forward profile. The Estancia edition uses Argentine Malbec casks for rich berry and spice.
