Chivas Extra is the result of meticulous craftsmanship.
Chivas Regal's carefully selected, first-fill oloroso sherry casks magnify the richness and intensity of the flavour, imbuing them with a deep amber colour. The result is Chivas Extra, a whisky with an intense aroma, plenty of fruit and generous sweetness.
The humble cask is at the heart of Chivas Extra when it comes to creating the perfect blend. Sherry casks impart a deep, rich colour to the whisky, while bourbon casks give it a more golden hue. But it all depends on the blend. The combination of these hallmarks creates the unique character of Chivas Extra bottles.
