Sherry-Cask Chivas, Taken Further
The Extra 13 concept starts with the Chivas Regal 12 base and gives it selective extra cask maturation — here, first-fill Oloroso sherry casks that layer dried-fruit depth over the house style's honeyed pear character. It is one of four finishes in the Extra 13 collection (alongside rum, American rye and tequila casks), each bottled at thirteen years. The result drinks richer than its age: sweet ripe pear in syrup, vanilla caramel, cinnamon sweets and crisp almond, with toasty oak on the finish. Shop the Scotch whisky collection at Del Mesa Liquor, compare blended Scotches, or browse everything from Chivas Regal.
Tasting Notes
Nose: heather honey and pear dusted with cinnamon, with sweet ripe pears in syrup and vanilla caramel. Palate: rich pear, honey and vanilla, caramel, faintly smoked malt, cinnamon, dry oak tannins and roasted nuts. Finish: toasty oak with pear and honey lingering.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a splash of water to open the sherry influence — or as a rob roy with real sherry-cask depth. The sherry finish also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate after dinner.
