Description
Chivas Regal 12 Years Old Blended Scotch Whisky is a world-famous classic amongst blended Scotch whiskies and has been synonymous with the highest quality and unmistakable style for decades. Produced at the historic Chivas Brothers Distillery in Speyside, Scotland, this blend combines several hand-selected malt and grain whiskies that have been allowed to mature for at least twelve years. The result is a smooth, harmonious whisky with a wonderfully balanced profile, characterised by gentle sweetness, ripe fruit and subtle spice.
Maturation takes place predominantly in oak casks and ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, which lend the whisky its complex depth and golden amber colour. On the nose, it is round and alluring, with notes of honey, ripe apples, vanilla, toffee and a hint of hazelnut. On the palate, a creamy mouthfeel unfolds with gentle malt and fruit notes, accompanied by a subtle hint of oak and sweet caramel. Bottled at 40% ABV, Chivas Regal 12 Years is the consummate all-rounder – elegant, approachable and of timeless class.
