CHIVAS X MAN UTD
Watch the blend come to life…
Just as Chivas Regal is a blend of the rich, generous and silky smooth scotch whisky, the superstars of Manchester United are a blend of their skill, passion, drive, philanthropy, laughter, pride and silky moves; from Mata to McManus via Galton and Lingard.
1968-2018: IN CELEBRATION OF AN ICONIC MOMENT
To mark Manchester United’s unforgettable 1968 victory in Europe, Chivas presents The Icon 50th Anniversary Limited Edition.
This 50 year old blended scotch whisky is our oldest ever released and features 4 bottles representing each of the Manchester United goals in the final.
Only four bottles of the 50-year-old Scotch have been created. The first one has been sold at Sotheby’s. The second bottle was gifted to a lucky fan in a social media competition, while the third has taken pride of place in the Manchester United Museum before being offered for private sale, with proceeds again being donated to the Manchester United Foundation. The final bottle is on display at Strathisla distillery, home of Chivas, in Speyside, Scotland.
"We wanted to use our vast expertise to craft a truly unique blend that embodies the values of a truly unique team. To taste this whisky is to experience some of our oldest, luxurious and rarest whiskies, some from now lost distilleries, hand selected and brought together for their exceptional richness and fruity character. Ever since Chivas’ founding brothers, James and John, first perfected the art of blending, Chivas has never released a whisky more than 30 years old – this limited edition 50 years old blend really is an iconic piece of history." Sandy Hislop, Chivas Brothers Director of Blending.
