Chivas Brothers – Royal Strathythan 1980s

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 supply the growing demand for smoother whiskies by his clientele. Around a century later in the 1950s, the Royal Strathythan Chivas Brothers blend is one of the favourites in the American market. This bottle is in a way an artefact in the history of the spread of Scotch Whisky around the globe.
