CHIVAS FLEXES ITS OPULENCE CREDENTIALS ON LATEST DROP: ULTIS XX

Introducing a 20 Year Old age statement to the iconic Ultis blend alongside Chivas’ signature grain, Ultis XX has been crafted for those that seek the ultimate flex.

Blended Scotch whisky, Chivas, has announced the launch of Ultis XX, a decadent 20 Year Old evolution of its renowned Ultis expression. Crafted for a new generation of whisky fans, this modern rendition of the classic blend exudes contemporary luxury in both style and taste, delivering the ultimate flex for those who are defining - and celebrating - success on their own terms.

The newly refined Ultis XX evolves Ultis’ mission of honouring five generations of Master Blenders by blending five of Chivas’ most precious single malts: Strathisla, Allt A’bhainne, Braeval, Longmorn, and Tormore along with Chivas’ signature grain, Strathclyde. The flavour profile of Ultis XX will be familiar to Ultis fans, however with the addition of Chivas’ signature grain, drinkers will notice a softer and more enriched complexity to the five 20 Year Old malts used.

Sandy Hyslop, Chivas Master Blender, comments: “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 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 flavourful notes of blossom honey, milk chocolate and poached pears in syrup leaving a long, sweet, and smooth finish.

Nick Blacknell, Chivas Global Marketing Director, comments: “I’m thrilled to be launching an evolution of our iconic Ultis blend. Adding ‘XX’ to the Ultis name is a clear signal to the decadence that comes with the addition of a 20 Year Old age statement and the complexity of flavour that whisky fans can expect from this premium blend. With this evolution, we have once again reinforced our belief that whisky is the ultimate choice for a new generation of drinkers. As we continue to challenge traditional conventions of blended Scotch, Ultis XX takes pride of place as the pinnacle of our portfolio and the ultimate flex to elevate those ‘I’ve made it’ moments with.”

The Ultis XX exterior demonstrates Chivas’ effortless ability to mesh classic luxury with contemporary street culture, as its elegant design teams well with bold, golden accents which give way for a touch of added edge. The aesthetics blend together, flexing a fusion that Chivas has become synonymous with in recent years, as it continues to cement its position in the music, fashion, and sports spaces.
