Chivas Regal Extra 13yo Sherry Cask - Whisky Review 130 

Great review. I stayed away from CR in general for probably too long, then I picked this and the 12 up on offer and I was very pleasantly surprised. That said, I'd only ever buy them on offer. Cheers.

Not had this one, but enjoyed your honest review. Thanks for sharing 🥃🥃

Ah dude, cheers for the mention I was looking forward to seeing how this compared to the banging rye cask. I have heard mixed things about the tequila finish but as you said it has the higher price tag when the standard 12 does the job. Cheers!

Interesting and informative review🙂 There are some surprisingly nice finds in some of the "tinkered with" cheap blended scotch. We have have good experiences with Famous Grouses Port and red wine casks. Still, I feel much like you, there is definitely a limit to how many of these bottles I care to drink😉

PSA for anyone who is interested - Talisker 18 is available at Heathrow T5 arrivals for £85 a bottle

Great review and well analysed. A 13 year old whisky with some sherry in the equation should raise some questions. The most obvious one is the standard of those good old casks. My guess is they probably had some sherry involvement some time ago. It could be regular stuff with a sherry splash at the end but either way they must have added colour to disguise what's going on. Chivas jumping on the sherry wagon with no price to back it up. Standard corporate behaviour. WT

Just popped open the tequila cask that the mrs got me for our 13 anniversary, lovely dram very pineapple fruit flavours Very impressed, looking to pick up the rye when I see it as I'm partial to a rye lately

Take this if you need extra mentally stability from no sleep no power and from getting silver, it can help you with that extra strength

I got this one on March... yeah, a meh one 😶. I wonder if the 18 will get you more. I remember having it 10 yrs ago and I really loved it (bc of its "smooth" characteristic) when I wasn't aware of how different single malts are. Now because of the extra $$ I am obligated to revisit cheaper options like upscale blends 🤷‍♂️

I agree with having some blended offerings on hand as one cannot keep downing pours of expensive stuff regularly anymore. Chivas has been a staple around the party scenes and there is nothing wrong with that.

👍🏻🥃😁😁

Mantap

Its just a bit of meh blend sure there's sherry and some fruit and sweetness but its tamed down. I used it for cocktails and mixing in the end.
