Kartik Mohindra, CMO, Pernod Ricard India, said, “Chivas has always been at the forefront of bringing the luxury scotch whisky experience to India. Our new launch – Chivas Ultis XX, aged 20-years is a step further in that direction. It offers a unique blend of five different 20-year-old single malts. With less than 1% of the millions of casks within our inventory used, and each cask individually hand-selected and nosed, we have ensured only the highest quality are included in a blend worthy of a celebration. An ode to the heritage of Chivas, ULTIS XX is a celebration of the five generations of Master Blenders behind the brand & a perfect blend for evolved scotch enthusiasts in India.”
Chivas’ blended scotch whisky range is a testament to decades of experience and experimentation, alongside a flair for flavor. An ode to the heritage of Chivas, ULTIS XX is a celebration of the five generations of Master Blenders behind the brand. It pays homage to them by featuring Chivas’ most precious single malts: Strathisla, Allt A’bhainne, Braeval, Longmorn, and Tormore. The flavour profile of Ultis XX also includes Chivas’ signature grain Strathclyde, which offers a softer, more enriched complexity to the five 20-year-old malts used.
Sandy Hyslop, Chivas Master Blender, shared, “Ultis XX is the ultimate tribute to the five generations of Master Blenders who preceded me in dedicating their life’s work to mastering Chivas’ iconic house style. Each of the single malts used within this blend brings their own complexity to the whisky, just like each Master Blender brought their own unique style to the Chivas blend. With less than 1% of the millions of casks within our inventory used, and each cask individually hand-selected and nosed, we have ensured only the highest quality are included in a blend worthy of a celebration.”
Distilled exclusively in copper stills and matured for a minimum of 20 years, the new expression brings several new tasting profiles to the scotch whisky blend for the first time, with aromas of juicy red apples, interlaced with raspberry jam, fresh vanilla pods and sweet butter toffee. On the palate, whisky lovers can experience flavorful notes of blossom honey, milk chocolate and poached pears in syrup leaving a long, sweet, and smooth finish.
