Chivas Regal honoring a soccer legend with his own blend of scotch whisky
Chivas Regal is honoring Sir Alex Ferguson, a soccer legend, with his very own blend of scotch whisky – the Chivas 13 Manchester United Special Edition.
Soccer fans have a new reason to grab a bottle of Chivas Regal this season. As the Official Global Spirits Partner of the English Premier League’s Manchester United, it makes sense that Chivas Regal would decide to pay tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson, a soccer legend and the team’s manager.
In a press release from the company, they revealed that fans would be able to grab a bottle of this special blend, known as the Chivas 13 Manchester United Special Edition, in markets across the United States.
As fans of both Chivas Regal and Manchester United, it makes sense that the number 13 would be in the name of this blend. Not only does it represent the “13-year-old Scotch selectively finished in American rye casks,” but also the 13 title wins that the team has celebrated under Ferguson.
Not only does this bottle of Chivas Regal honor Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United, but it is also a chance to give this blended spirit a spotlight. As the Director of Blending at Chivas, Sandy Hyslop, explains, “at Chivas we believe that blended is better, in life and in Scotch.”
The Chivas 13 Manchester United Special Edition gives you a smooth Scotch that carries notes of citrusy orange, cinnamon, and even milk chocolate. You get the sweet and delicate notes you expect, with hints of vanilla as well. Think of this as a mellow and smooth spirit that juicy and sweet.
But it’s not just the flavor profile that will make you want to grab a bottle of this Chivas Regal, as the packaging itself is stunning in vibrant red, white, and black. Not only does this once again represent the team colors, but the gold script on the bottle adds to the elegance and refinement of this Chivas. This is a collectible bottle all on its own, even without the delicious blended Scotch Whisky found inside of it.
While we are not opposed to drinking a glass of the Chivas 13 Manchester United Special Edition on the rocks, this is one liquor that would also do well as part of a cocktail menu. And with those flavor notes, you may find your holidays even brighter thanks to this offering from Chivas Regal.
From the packaging to the Scotch Whisky itself, this is one bottle of Chivas we think soccer fans and Chivas Regal lovers will need to buy this season.
