Product Description

Chivas Regal Extra 13 Year Blended Whisky: Oloroso Sherry Cask Richness with Pear and Cinnamon

Chivas Regal Extra 13 Year Blended Whisky is a 13-year-old blended Scotch that adds Oloroso sherry-cask influence to the smooth Chivas house style. Chivas explains that a portion of the blend is selectively matured in Oloroso sherry casks, increasing richness and intensity without turning the whisky into a sweet sherry-flavored drink.

The official profile is concise and distinctive: vanilla and caramel on the nose, sweet ripe pears in syrup, cinnamon candy, and crisp almonds on the palate, followed by a rich, intense finish. Bottled at 40% ABV, it offers an approachable strength while delivering more fruit, spice, and cask depth than a lighter everyday blend.

This expression works well for drinkers exploring sherry-influenced Scotch, Chivas collectors, and anyone seeking a smooth blended whisky with dessert-like fruit and warming spice.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Vanilla, caramel, sweet malt, and gentle dried-fruit richness.
• Palate: Ripe pears in syrup, cinnamon sweets, crisp almonds, vanilla, and rounded caramel.
• Finish: Rich and intense, with lingering fruit, spice, almond, and soft oak.

Food Pairings

Pair with roast pork, glazed ham, hard cheese, toasted almonds, pear tart, cinnamon pastries, fruitcake, or milk chocolate. The whisky’s pear and caramel notes also complement savory dishes with dried fruit or gently sweet sauces.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy neat, with a few drops of water, or over one large cube. For a longer serve, combine with soda and a pear garnish. Chivas also suggests using the Extra 13 range in fruit-forward cocktails such as a whisky sangria or cherry highball.
