Chivas Extra 13 Blended Scotch Whisky selectively finished* in Rum Cask
Chivas Extra 13 Rum Cask brings an exciting twist to the Chivas house blend. Selectively finishing* whisky in rum casks amplifies the sweetness of our blend to create something deliciously tempting.
Because blended is better, in life and in Scotch.
This Chivas Extra 13 Blended Scotch Whisky selectively finished* in Rum Cask is inspired by the Chivas brothers’ 13 King Street Emporium in Aberdeen, where they imported different spirits, exotic spices, and luxury food items from across the globe. Imparting its own unique combination of characteristics onto the Chivas blend, this finish brings new and contrasting flavour notes to the spirit for the first time.
STEP INTO A WORLD OF EXTRA SWEET FLAVOURS
Our Chivas Extra 13 Rum Cask is a blend created in homage to the Chivas brothers, who imported rums and exotic spices to their 13 King Street Aberdeen Emporium in the early days of Chivas Regal.
Rum begins its journey as sugarcane, meaning its flavour profile is predominantly sweet. That means that when selectively finishing* our whisky in rum casks, the sweeter notes of fruits and honey in our 13 year old blend are magnified for a truly unforgettable blend.
TASTING NOTES
A sweet union of juicy orange, sweet apricot jam and sticky honey, complete with a light dusting of warm and spicy cinnamon.

“At Chivas we believe that blended is better – and nowhere is this more evident than with our new collection, which blends exceptional Scotch with a diverse, internationally-inspired palette of flavours.” Sandy Hyslop, Director of Blending at Chivas.
Our remarkable Extra 13 Rum Cask features artwork by renowned street artist Greg Gossel. For this wonderfully sweet blend, he blended our Chivas Regal heritage with footage of the 13 King Street Emporium together with tropical images from the Caribbean. Colourful hues and sugarcane plants adorn the bottle and tin in homage of the dreamy archipelago.
