The new Chivas Blending Kit, according to those behind it, lets one experience in a very small way what it is like to put together a blended Scotch such as Chivas. To that end the kit contains four single malt whiskies and one blended grain whisky (50 ml for each whisky), each representing a different flavor characteristic: floral, fruity, citrus, creamy, and smoky.

“At Chivas we believe that blended is better – in life and in Scotch,” said Chivas Director of Blending Sandy Hyslop in a prepared statement. “Every day I get to indulge in my greatest passion, experimenting with the world’s finest malt and grain whiskies to create something extraordinary when blended together – and this passion is something I want to share with other whisky fans. Each component in a blend plays an important role in determining the profile of the finished whisky – I can’t wait to see what creations my fellow blenders around the world put together.”
