The very first blended malt Scotch whisky from Chivas Regal - Ultis! In honour of the five generations of Master Blenders who have been behind Chivas Regal over the years, this expression features single malts from five different Speyside distilleries, namely Allt-á-Bhainne, Braeval, Longmorn, Strathisla and Tormore.
Richly honey'd, with a kick of fiery cinnamon underneath. Tinned peaches and crumbly fudge.
Rounded fruit notes all the way throughout (poached pears, clementines and a touch of persimmon). Slight drying notes of fresh barley.
Sugared peels, dark chocolate and a pinch of ginger.

I am a big fan of the Chivas 18 and Royal Salute so when I saw the Ultis available in a hotel bar I was keen to try it. This review is based on that one tot which I drank half neat and half with a drop of water. The Ultis is extremely refined, smooth, complex. There is practically no heat to it and a drop of water did nothing to enhance it - it was mere dilution and an error. The flavor is very rich with caramel and a whole medley of fruit evocative to me of Christmas and dried fruits. One of my favorite whiskys ever. I will certainly buy a bottle when I see it in the US - and believe it to be underpriced - it is going to sell like crazy when discovered
In one word WOWWWW!
