If you love whiskey and tequila, the new Chivas Regal Extra 13 might be worth a sip.
Traditionally, experimenting with Scotch whiskey is a big no-no. But regulations have since been relaxed, giving whiskeymakers like Chivas Regal a chance to play with flavors.

“We decided to innovate with the Chivas Extra 13 Tequila cask finish which just gives a nice roundness and sweetness to the whisky. You get lovely citrus flavors like grapefruit and lemon zest to give that crisp, bright flavor,” said Chivas Regal Philippine Brand Ambassador Owen Roberts.
The new Chivas Regal Extra 13 is now available in supermarkets and alcohol e-tailers.
