Kevin and I attended the Chivas Brotherhood event since it combined some of our favorite things: free event, free alcohol and checking out a Miami penthouse. Kevin had his beverage on the rocks. I tried their version of Blood & Sand martini (3/4 oz Scotch whisky; 3/4 oz rosso vermouth; 1/4 oz cherry brandy and 1 1/2 oz orange juice) which was delicious. It was relaxing on the rooftop with our drinks (free!), beautiful view of the city lit up at night while enjoying our cigars. The penthouse was beautifully decorated by Chivas with personalized Chivas items included in the decor, like poker chips, the lights you see in the background and beautiful leather barstools (like butter I tell ya!) with the Chivas lion in doorknocker form on the back of the barstool.
Mario, the host of the event in Miami til the end of the month, told us some very interesting tidbits about Chivas whisky's history. Not sure if any and all of the following are true, but interesting....

- During Queen Victoria's rule she granted a Royal Warrant for the Chivas Brothers to provide her with continued goods.
- All royality in Britain have a designated blend made by Chivas in their honor. Sometimes these blends are then made available to the public. So who do you think will age better William or Harry?
- Chivas Regal is number one scotch/blended whiskey in South Korea.
- This was Frank Sinatra's preferred drink.
