Chimera is a new range of BLACKADDER Vatted Malt Whiskies. It is a beautifully blended single malt. From the bottlers:
In mythology a Chimera was a monstrous creature made up of multiple animals. Don't worry though, we at Blackadder haven't gone mad ! Today’s Chimera is a single organism made of mixed species, the result of which is often breathtaking. As we are best known for our single cask bottlings, we felt Chimera would be the perfect name for this exciting range of exclusive blended malt whiskies. All Chimera are vatted together for extra aging after which they are bottled from the individual single casks in which their constituent malt whiskies have been married together.
No two Chimeras will ever be the same; from the sources of the constituent whiskies to the fingerprints left by the individual casks.
