Chivas Regal 13 Year Manchester United Special Edition

Nose: honey, light caramel, light hint of crisp fruits- perhaps apple or pear, cinnamon or baking spices, hint of rye, cereal notes, hint of vanilla, buttery note. Taste: balanced and not overly complicated, easy going, buttery, cereal, honey, white peppery note, darker fruits and slight bitter cocoa notes linger on the finish. Pretty decent, especially for the price point. Enjoyable if you’re not looking for over the top.

Best 💲h❗️➕ you’ll drink for the price

Agree with the other opinions....similar to the 12 year with rye influence. Goes down easy.

Nose - orange rind and milk chocolate, caramel and a bit of rye spice Palette - medium bodied, rich and sweet, some light spice, citrus and chocolate again Finish - sweet citrus, lingers a bit, slightest dry feeling at the end, light burn

Very similar to the regular 12 year Chivas but with a little peppery rye kick in the finish. It may add some more complexity to it but my extensive time drinking the 12 leads me to prefer that if given the choice although both are easy to sip and delicious.

One of my favorite football teams in the world is Manchester United. Even an ecuadorian was the team's captain for a long time. And i really loved the "Alex Ferguson" era in the team. He won, as a manager, 13 league trophies, therefore, Chivas Regal has made this 13yo whisky to commemorate those premier league titles. But, this whisky, finished in american rye casks, looks more like the team from nowadays. It is good, but far from elite. Bottled at 40% abv, burnished gold color. On the nose, very nice, but not your typical chivas. Coffee, chocolate, mocaccino, cream, butter, vanilla, milk with coffee. Amaretto and oranges. Red fruits, cotton candy; mostly creamy. Like starbucks made whisky. On the palate, it is normal. Not very complex. Dry rye, red fruits and cherry syrup. Not much else. Aftertaste is a little crazy. Starts with red fruits, to switch into ginger, but the one you eat to change sushi rolls, that soapy one. Dry rye. After a couple sips, you will find some cocoa bitterness, very dim. Overall, this one barely makes the 4 stars mark, it is a good dram, but a little one directional on the palate and doesn't feel like a typical Chivas Regal, which are fruity and spicy. Rye influence is there but not enough to actually put it in the name of the whisky. My score for it is 80 over 100.
