New batch of Exclusive lebua Blend now available at Alfresco 64

22/01/2018

Whisky connoisseurs who missed out on the first batch one-of-a-kind limited edition Chivas Exclusive lebua Blend at Alfresco 64 ­ A Chivas Bar, now have another opportunity to sample the blend with the arrival of the second batch from Chivas Regal. The first batch of 24 bottles released with the opening of the bar sold out within four months and the second consignment is now available for connoisseurs at the bar.

Created by Chivas Regal Master Blender, Colin Scott, the Chivas Exclusive lebua Blend, only 96 individually numbered bottles are available of this special blend and marks the first time in the history of the luxury whisky brand that it has blended a whisky exclusively for one specific partner. Composed of the finest whisky distilled in 1985 or earlier, it was laid down in a selection of casks including American Oak. Following maturation in these casks, they were then individually nosed and only the best were selected for this bespoke blend. After expertly marrying the chosen whiskies, the resulting blend was then left to rest in a First Fill Sherry Butt of exceptional quality. Over the following nine years, the blend developed its unique rich and smooth character with an undeniable intense flavor: a whisky of superlative quality, with rich fruity notes intermingled with a fantastic sherry character from a single cask.

 In March of this year, The Dome at lebua and Pernod Ricard unveiled the ChivasExclusive lebua Blend to commemorate their partnership on the new signature whisky retreat on the 64th floor, Alfresco 64 ­ A Chivas Bar. Alfresco 64 combines dizzying vistas of the city with a world-class whisky degustation experience. The design concept of Alfresco 64 ­ A Chivas Bar draws inspiration from the sleek lines of a luxury yacht and is divided into three parts with the first section, an indoor area exquisitely set to resemble an opulent yacht cabin, featuring lacquered rosewood flooring and sunken seating. The bar counter is meticulously made of large pieces of wood accentuated with curves and silver metal lines which resemble the dynamic lines of a luxury vessel. The front of the bar takes its design cues from a yacht¹s bridge.
