Why Gifted Pour recommends it
A milestone birthday, a retirement, or a promotion that took years of patience all call for a bottle with a story, and this blended Scotch brings one: Chivas Brothers created it as a tribute to polo and the vibrant energy of Rio de Janeiro, aged for a minimum of 21 years and presented in a striking, beautifully designed bottle that feels like an occasion before it's even opened. It suits the recipient who enjoys sport, travel, or simply a refined evening pour. In the glass it opens with tropical fruit, ripe mango and toasted almonds, with honeycomb, vanilla and soft floral notes behind. The palate is velvety, layering rich toffee, creamy caramel and a touch of dark chocolate over spiced oak, citrus zest and nutmeg, before a long, elegant finish with gentle spice and a subtle hint of smoky oak. Encourage them to try it neat in a tulip glass first, then with a few drops of water to coax out more fruit and spice.
