Brand Story
The origins of Chivas Regal Scotch whisky can be traced back to 1840. At that time, two brothers, James and John Chivas, ran a delicatessen at 13 King Street in Aberdeen. They sold luxury products - coffee, exotic spices, French brandies and Caribbean rum - to a wealthy clientele. Year after year, the two brothers were faced with increasing demand for a smoother, rounder whisky than those they were selling. So they decided to blend several of the best ageing Scotch malt and grain whiskies to create a unique character. The Chivas brothers made blending history by creating the world's very first luxury scotch, a 25-year-old blend they called Chivas Regal.
