Cognac Casks Meet the House Blend
Chivas built its name on the pursuit of the smoothest blend — and XV takes the 15-year-old house style and finishes it in the finest cognac casks from Grande Champagne, where the oak still carries the memory of the wine spirits it once held. The result is a blended Scotch that drinks like a celebration: richer, fruitier, unmistakably golden. Explore more Scotch whisky and whisky, or shop the Chivas Regal range at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Sourced profile: stewed red apples, orange marmalade, honey, cinnamon, and juicy sultanas on the nose; a smooth, fruity palate of poached pears, butterscotch, and caramel toffees; a rounded finish with a touch of vanilla. Described as refined, fruity, and velvety.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over one large cube to let the cognac-cask fruit bloom. It also makes an elegant Rob Roy — the Grande Champagne finish plays well with sweet vermouth.
