Chivas Brothers started their journey as a grocery store that opened in 1801 in Aberdeen, Scotland. The store sold luxury foodstuff like exotic spices and French brandy, In 1842 Queen Victoria made her first visit to Scotland and Chivas Brothers food store was granted a royal warrant to supply the Queen with their delicacies. In the 1850s James Chivas, having taken over the family shop, started blending whiskies to provide his clientele with the growing demand for smoother whiskies. Master blender Colin Scott has blended whiskies from 5 different types of casks, from Charred new oak to sherry butts, remade Bourbon hogshead, remade Scotch hogshead and ex-Bourbon barrels to make this unique blend of the Royal Citation.
