Chivas Regal Ultis XX 0,7 l

Chivas Regal Ultis XX is a high-end release from Chivas Regal, created as a tribute to the art of blending. Unlike the brand’s classic blends, this expression is a blended malt, a combination of malt whiskies only, with no grain component.

The “XX” signifies a minimum age of 20 years for all whiskies in the blend. The core is built around key distilleries such as Strathisla, Longmorn, Tormore, Braeval, and Allt-a-Bhainne, which define the signature Chivas style, fruit, smoothness, and balance.
The absence of grain whisky results in a fuller texture and a more clearly expressed malt character. Despite this, Ultis XX retains the brand’s signature, controlled elegance, without aggression or extremes.
This is a whisky for those who know the Chivas style and are looking for a deeper, more structured interpretation, without losing the sense of balance and approachability.

Flavour profile
Nose: red apples, honey, vanilla, ripe fruits, floral notes
Palate: creamy, pear, peach, caramel, spices, light oak
Finish: medium length, warm, with fruit sweetness and spice

Interesting fact
Chivas Regal Ultis XX is one of the few expressions in the Chivas portfolio that is a blended malt rather than a traditional blended Scotch, meaning it is made entirely from malt whiskies.

Whisky culture
What “blended malt” means and why it matters
Blended malt refers to a mixture of malt whiskies from different distilleries, without any grain whisky. This results in more body, greater intensity, and a more defined character. Compared to classic blends, the profile is closer to single malt, but with more flexibility.

The role of Speyside distilleries in the blend
Distilleries such as Strathisla and Longmorn are known for their fruity and smooth style. They form the backbone of many premium blends by providing balance and accessibility. Combining several such distilleries allows for a layered yet controlled profile.

How age affects blended malt whisky
With longer maturation, malt whiskies develop deeper fruit and spice notes. Oak becomes more integrated, and the texture smoother and more rounded. Maintaining balance is essential to prevent the wood from dominating the profile.

How to enjoy it based on its style
Ultis XX is best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its malt character and texture. A few drops of water can enhance fruit notes and open up the aromas. Ice is not recommended, as it reduces intensity and masks detail.

Why it is worth it
Chivas Regal Ultis XX offers a deeper, more malt-driven interpretation of the Chivas style. It delivers more structure and character while preserving the brand’s signature smoothness. Ideal as a higher-value gift or for those looking to move beyond standard blended whisky.
