Whisky Gift Idea for Starters and Mixers: Chivas 12

Smooth, rich and generous – there’s a reason why Chivas 12 Year Old remains a classic. If you know someone that’s looking to start their whisky journey, a whisky gift that’s smooth is essential so not to overwhelm the palate. The desire for a smooth finish is exactly why John and James Chivas began blending whiskies back in the 19th century – and it’s a trait that’s still cherished in Chivas Regal today. Its versatile nature plays well with a range of mixers (especially soda in a Whisky Highball) and is great for experimenting with cocktails – this is the Chivas gift that will keep on giving new flavour experiences.

Whisky Gift Idea for Flavour Explorers: Chivas Extra

The Chivas Extra 13 range is the perfect whisky gift for those who love to explore new flavours, including Chivas Extra Sherry Cask*, Chivas Extra Rum Cask**, Chivas Extra Tequila Cask***, Chivas Extra American Rye Cask**** and Chivas Extra Bourbon Cask*****. Taking influence from flavours all over the world, each bottle includes a portion of blended Scotch whisky selectively finished or matured in sherry, rum, tequila, bourbon or rye casks for a totally different way to enjoy Scotch whisky. Step into a world of extra flavour and get creative with playful cocktails and slushies like the Extra Sangria, Extra Colada, Extra Paloma and Extra Manhattan.

The perfect whisky gift for someone who usually receives Japanese whisky gifts or loves eastern flavours, this whisky is best enjoyed in a classic Whisky Highball so not to overpower the delicate flavour.

Whisky Gift Idea for those who like the finer things: Chivas 18

This flavour sensation is the perfect whisky gift for those who like things to be a bit fancy. Chivas 18 Year Old is all about an appreciation of complex flavours – all 85 of them, in fact.

Whether they enjoy it straight or in a classic Old Fashioned, this 18-year-old blend is award-winning for very good reason.

Whisky Gift Idea for Luxury lovers: Chivas Ultis

Chivas Ultis is the blend for those who have truly made it. An expression that celebrates true success, this whisky is the first blended malt from the house of Chivas – and certainly won’t fail to impress. Every drop contains five precious single malts, with notes of rich citrus, creamy toffee and thick honey. This excellent blend is the perfect whisky lover’s gift if you really want to treat your favourite whisky drinker this year.

Whisky Gift Idea for fans of the classics: Chivas 25

Those who love the classics should look no further than Chivas 25. This rich and fruity 25-year-old blend was made famous as the world’s first luxury whisky, taking New York by storm in 1909. Despite its reign being cut short by Prohibition in 1920, Chivas 25 was reignited in 2007 – making there no better whisky lover’s gift. Who doesn’t love an original?
