Chivas Regal 12 Year Old

For £25 this is a really decent whisky. A bit of vanilla, nicely sweet and a tiny whiff of smoke. 3.5 stars considering the price.

4th August 2018

Worth a try!!!

18th July 2018

This is a barely okay whisky, and not something I think I'll ever spend money on again unless there's not much else to choose from. I'd much rather pay a little more and get something much, much better. And in the same price category you'll obviously find the Johnnie Walker Black Label, which most of the time seems superior to this blend.

And I say most of the time, because there really does seem to be a quality control issue with this product. The quality is quite inconsistent. Sometimes I've even had a bottle I've really enjoyed. The last one I purchased, however, convinced me to stay away in the future.

Chivas for first time

23rd June 2018

I’m a single malt drinker. But sometimes for a change I drink blended, then I go only for Chivas and JW black. This is an excellent blend. Definitely deserve more stars.

21st June 2018

Quality whisky that suites all tastes

18th June 2018

Hi nice

10th June 2018

Picked up a 750ml bottle on sale at my local Bevmo for about $20 after taxes. For the price paid, this whisky has surpassed all my expectations.

On the nose, this whiskey has hints of vanilla, maple syrup, wood, and a citrus fruitiness.
On the palate, this whisky starts with a sweet note of honey and caramel, followed by a zesty, smoky, subtle lemon note. It then goes into a short finish with a mild, spicy, pepper note.

From my time with my bottle, my personal opinions of this whisky are that Chivas Regal 12 is a great blended Scotch for its price.

I give the bottle it is sold in 3 stars out of 5 stars, as the bottle feels mass produced and has no cork. I give the whisky itself 4.5 stars out of 5 stars. One cannot go wrong with picking up a bottle.

21st May 2018

I hate to say this but the nose and taste is very harsh, it’s bottled at 43% in this country, the quality has unfortunately slipped. It’s just fairly spirity, I usually favour cask strength whiskies so this isn’t usual for me to say this about a blend. I just didn’t find this to be a pleasent experience unfortunately. Dewars 12 does it for me, this doesn’t. If you buy this I recommend ginger ale. It’s the only way you will get through the bottle.

9th April 2018

i thought it was very good. nice lingering taste. a little hot after-taste for me.

8th April 2018

If you drink this on the rocks then it is one of the most pleasant drinks out there. I think the price point Vs Quality is very good, value for money.

27th March 2018

Awesome

10th March 2018

A very nice smooth and sober taste.

Cant go wrong for a gift. Little light in color lately, but the taste is still phenomenal. Way better than JWB12.

26th November 2017

Superb

15th November 2017

I love malt whiskies and of late some blends as well. Not all single malts are good nor are all blends inferior. Chivas 12 yo, Johnnie Walker Black Label and Ballantine's 12 yo are fine examples of good blends at very reasonable prices. It is a fagrant and flavourful drink best taken neat or with a spoonful of still water-an enjoyable treat after a hard day's work. One well known reviewer claims that there is a slight bitter after taste (presumably from multiple re-use of oak casks) which i find almost undiscrenable. A good dram for those cold nights.

8th November 2017

Superb

6th November 2017

Tasty reward after training hard for 6 weeks. Touch of class about this blend

22nd October 2017

Chivas Regal is excellent whisky and I admired it very much. Excellent to pallet. Did not get knocked out any time.

23rd September 2017

I had some last night at an old dive bar, and I just loved it.

31st August 2017

Amazing and goes down like silk! Defiantly the best I've tried

28th August 2017

Nothing wrong with Chivas 12 at all. It's a decent blended Scotch. However, it's a bit boring. It seems a little too smooth and inoffensive. There's nothing that really makes it stand out. For the same price, I can get Monkey Shoulder. I'll stick with that.

26th August 2017

Smooth, malty and medium bodied. Subtler than JW Red, deeper than Grouse. One of the better blends although a little overpriced.

10th August 2017

Good blend smooth to have

10th August 2017

Smell gives you vanilla first hand with some spice. Taste is smooth and sweet, like taking a mouthful of pudding. A bit too sweet for my taste. There is a huge kick-back after swallowing though, like it's fighting to go down. What starts sweet ends like a bad case of indigestion and it's not fun. It's okay if you want a drink after supper I suppose. I would recommend for those with a more delicate palate due to its dessert like taste, if you don't mind the sensation of it punching your esophagus on the way down...

7th August 2017

Sweet fruity notes, carmalized apples, savory overtones and tangy amplitudes. Charismatic and subtle warmth going down. Well worth a try for the price.

27th July 2017

I couldn't tell the difference between this and low priced whisky in India ..I tried hard to feel that difference but it tastes like local spirit

23rd July 2017

The blend is very nice and no hangover

21st July 2017

I'm fond of whisky, Scotch and Irish. Here in Turin where I live I pay a 12 years Chivas Regal 17 €.
It's a gift if you think that a good Italian or French wine comes at least at 6 €.
Excellent, glorious Whisky. I love also the Jameson Irish Whiskey and I alternate.

19th July 2017

Very nice & smoothe

9th July 2017

Plenty of flavour and extremely smooth, the smell is misleading as it smells similar to bells, teachers etc. The taste on the other hand is worthy of a much more expensive single malt in my opinion.

27th June 2017

This blend is a delicious whisky with sweet and savory notes. Fresh fruit, hints of smoke and oak, toffee and dried banana chips. Received this whisky as a gift and I must say that as a staunch single malt lover, this whisky puts blends in a new perspective.

25th June 2017

bought a liter for € 28.50 so absolutely good value for money.The banana in the background is great together with the spice and the serial sweetness.Of course this is an intensely commercialy made blend,but one of the best selling blends around the world and I can taste why.

3rd June 2017

It has almost no complexity and it is surprisingly bland for a 12 years old whisky, you get a lot of ethanol, some banana and pepper than it dies. Not a lot of caramel, vanilla, fruits or anything else to the taste. I'd rather drink basic Jameson than that. For the price this is ridiculous. If for you it's cheap than try it for yourself, if for you it's a big expense than consider something else.

1st June 2017

Don't buy it unless you really are on a budget

30th April 2017

Just bought a bottle of this, complete rubbish for 28 quid, I wouldn't pay more than 18 pound for it honestly.

28th April 2017

Reviewed April 2017. This is nothing like the smooth and enticing blend I used to drink. It is light, innocuous and without any real attraction. No longer a premium blend. Buy something cheaper such as Whyte and Mackay it is better value.

4th April 2017

I'm no whiskey conosiur but,after trying this one for the first time tonight I can say its the best whiskey I've had so far.

18th March 2017

Good

24th February 2017

Sweet, but not overly cloying. The malt comes through nicely, dancing on the tongue. Silky smooth, it's a perfect blend, perfect for any occasions. Grab yourself a nice crystal whisky glass, put a couple of ice cubes in ( I personally have ice with blend, and some still spring water with single malt ), sit back, sip, and appreciate the sublime skills of The Master Blender. This is delicious stuff.

22nd February 2017

Very good.

10th February 2017

It has got great taste

2nd February 2017

Smell: sweet, honey

Taste: nutty, sweet, orange

Conclusion: decent taste for a great price, good beginner Scotch.

2nd February 2017

It's my regular brand since 10 years .

1st February 2017

Very good taste

31st January 2017

To be fair, paying at that price, what do you expect?
Take away the price story, this whisky is not for me and family.
Back here, we call it taste and smell like dead cockroaches on the wood. Sorry...

21st January 2017

Worst after taste whisky it tastes like rotten coconut yuck

15th January 2017

Best scotch

29th December 2016

To be a single malt, a malt whisky has to contain no more than that single malt. Chivas Regal is a blended whisky however, it's good to remember that it contains a superb single malt. It's this strathisla single malt that makes it stand out from all the other blended cheaper whisky. It is hard to rate a whisky, personal taste gives us all a different opinion. My opinion is a simple one. You will not get a better 12 year old whisky for the price. In fact it is better than many whisky's of a higher price. Chivas Regal is not a name that is a fly by night like many brands are these days. It's been around for a lot of years and will be around for a lot longer.

26th December 2016

I have consumed this scotch for may years. It's always been great andat a good price. For some reason Costco just stopped carrying it. So I have to go to Bevmo or Safeway.

Drink first time tonight and give this one 10/10

4th September 2016

Excellent flavor and very smooth.

27th August 2016

Picked this up for £10 on offer (35cl) - a real find. Was dubious, but having looked beyond the naysayers at the good reviews and considerable pedigree (two golds and a silver), I decided to give it a punt. Glad I did. Funnily enough, my main reasons for purchase were a) the fact I had finished my last bottle of single malt and didn't think I'd squeeze another £35+ outlay past the wife (we have two young and expensive children) and b) curiosity.

First try - not fussed. Second try - didn't make the mistake of adding water, as I had been used to with some of the more complex, smokier malts I like. The Chivas revealed itself to be quite the dark horse - rivaling and, in some ways bettering, my last bottle of Balvenie Doublewood. A perfectly respectable and affordable blend - don't be a snob, at this price what do you have to lose?

15th August 2016

It's a greatest whisky ever...I endorse chivas regal.

13th August 2016

Easy to drink... Full of flavour and well priced for what you are getting... Plus it's widely available.

Hi,
I have know about this whisky after reading novels in my mother Marathi. We are having 2 eagle shape bottles in our house, while my father is working in bar at my childhood. From that time i am dreaming about Chivas Regal. Today i am going to buy my first bottle.

Cheers.
Santosh

5th June 2016

By far the best of a terrible category of readily available heavily discounted scotch blend. You may not pick it over Glenfiddich or The Macallan any day of the week after you win the lottery for sipping with a few drops of water. For a delicious and interesting blend, only until Megamillions hits, this is it. Neat, rocks, soda, chivalry? Yes. Have it any way you like and there is no need to suffer for purity or wear a hair shirt. It is $23 on sale at the drug store down the street, just $5 more than some terrible young bourbon.

2nd June 2016

Great Whiskey

26th May 2016

My drink of the evening and it's like a smooth drink of pure .999 percent molten Gold. It's smooth, it shines, and it warms!! Life just couldn't be better than a quiet sunset, a smooth pipe and a glass of Chivas Regal 12 over ice. The drink of the Angels.

25th May 2016

This was THE One and Only blended Scotch whisky for me in the eighties. But sadly they've changed the taste somewhere in the nineties. (Like Confused wrote) from rich, creamy, smooth and full of caracter and also with some custard I tasted in the finish to less caracter, sharp now and that custardy finish is completely gone. More smokeyness came instead of it.
Was that because they wanted to compete more with JWB? Which I don't like at all.
In the 80's I would have rated it 5 stars +, but now just 3-.
Anyone the same experience?

19th May 2016

Better to be used at cleaning up the hospitals floors.

18th May 2016

Smells like some sort of cleaning fluid or rubbing alcohol, but it's not at all like that on the palette. Can put a reasonable dent in a bottle of this of an evening without too much trouble. Not unpleasant at all despite the smell.

14th May 2016

As usual cheap and superb.

11th May 2016

Most disgusting Scotch I've ever tasted - and I've tasted some very cheap ones! This is worth about £2 a bottle based on my experience. Has the same antiseptic taste of stablemate Teachers - except Teachers is a fraction of the price and doesn't claim to be special. Never again will I throw money away on this garbage.

7th May 2016

Superb

6th May 2016

Smoky like JWB. Its a tasty whiskey for the price. I like the smoky flavor so to me it is better than Jameson or Crown.

29th April 2016

Smooth with honey touch blend

21st April 2016

One of my favorite whiskeys in its price range . From the nose to notes and overall taste it has something of everything . I only have one downside to the whiskey and that is that its a lil bit soft on impact but atleast it comes back strong(:

6th April 2016

Not being a whiskey drinker a gentleman at the club i belong to bought along a bottle of Chivas 12y for us to help celebrate his 93rd bithday yesterday what a relevation i am now hooked on your product my rum supplier wil take a hit now. Cheers and carry on the good work

1st April 2016

Love it

30th March 2016

good with one ice cube or splash of water .. there is honey .. definitely hazelnut and vanilla .. banana chips .. the nose is inviting .. dont expect peat or smoke in here because there is non of that happening with it .. what shall i say more ? .. short finish ? .. good whisky .. not bad not expensive .. very reliable .. very accessable and recommended for beginners! and IMO i prefer johnnie walker black over this one , if you have a sweet tooth go regal but if you are a peat and smoke fan go black and you won't come back ! i mean .. to come back to this one !

28th March 2016

Definitely trading on the name and not the taste. Very disappointing for the money. Starting to be heavily discounted in supermarkets over here as folks catch on.

9th March 2016

I'm more a malt maniac myself,but because the Chivas 12 was on special sale last week (under € 30,00 for a liter bottle) I thought let's try this.Very smooth and creamy with a nice vanilla and caramel note and a bit of lemon in the background.The pepper in the finish did the trick.I compared with my notes of the Strathisla I had a couple of years back,and very much of the tasting notes back then I see reappearing in this Chivas 12.Overall a good choice.

4th March 2016

Really smooth for me

16th February 2016

I definitely taste the wood chips! The banana too! NOT BAD!!

9th February 2016

I give it a rating 10. I could drink it instead of water or milk, if it didn't have alcohol.. :)
Most powerful, tasty, gentlemen's whiskey of them all..

29th January 2016

Good

29th January 2016

Like some others here, I too, was reluctant to try this 'cheap' whisky, since it has such commercial appeal and such a low price. I drink what I think to be top shelf single malts, such as; Lagavulin 16, Talisker 10, Ardbeg 10, Uigeadail, Laphroaig (all), Highland Park, Old Pulteney . .& many more. Didn't see the need to try this stuff. But I did. Bought a 50ml sampler, brought it home, sat down for a serious try. Color is a nice golden amber (probably E150 color added), still pleasant to the eye; nose is very well described by MofM . . . creamy vanilla, bananas; palate . . .nice and creamy, spicy, a little anise, orange(?); finish is spicy, a little peppery, but nice.
Overall . . . very pleasantly surprised. My honest opinion is, it is worth serious consideration by the serious scotch drinker. If you are looking for something in the same price range (blended) that is a tad better, try Monkey Shoulder. But, Chivas Regal is good whisky.

26th January 2016

Smooth

23rd January 2016

As promarly a single malt drinker, I have been broadening my exposure to blended scotch (the only blended scotch I've had semi-regularly is JWBL which is reasonably good). Recently I tried out Dewars WL, which I found utterly repugnant, so I had very low expectations for the Chivas Regal 12y.

Surprisingly, I found the Chivas 12y to be pretty good. The nose is light, almost difficult to pick out, but the notes of raisin, distant smoke and vanilla. The palate is more robust, though still light, with oaky vanilla, a hint of smoke and some distant dark fruit (a drop of one of Abalour's sherried malts somewhere in the mix?). The finish hangs on longer than I'd have expected, with a hint of tannins, but not unpleasantly so. Make no mistake, this is no Glendronach or Lagavulin, but it's pretty tasty. Notably absent were any offensive grain notes.

If you're looking for a good, reasonably priced, but undemanding scotch, this would be a solid option at a good price.

23rd January 2016

It's a decent dram!

21st January 2016

Neat, rocks,soda... Makes JWB taste like dishwater.

21st January 2016

Good

18th January 2016

A great blend, fruit, spice, sweet and with a whiff of smoke. Don't discount it over the currently more fashionable malts. It's a decent dram!

17th January 2016

I know this libation has been with us for quite a while and I have been drinking Scotch for some time. For some reason however, this one always eluded me, until last night while I was sitting at a local establishment catching up with an old friend and I decided to have one. I liked it so much that I bought a bottle on the way home. Pretty good stuff, especially for less than $30 a fifth.

13th January 2016

Excellent scotch

7th January 2016

Had it with my uncle for the first time and it was a great and a unique experience. Cheers to Chivas😊

6th January 2016

outstanding taste of which i discovered in a hotel in the Dominican republic and still enjoy to this day with my father , brother and son many thanks

5th January 2016

excellent scotch bought on spec at tesco, glad i did.

4th January 2016

I first bought this whisky about 20 years ago, and now it is the only on I buy.
SO smoooooth !!!! Love it.

23rd December 2015

I agree with the description above. Definitely feel the vanilla and banana, with the spice and pepper aftertaste. I like it more than Dewars 12 if anyone is between both.

I'm a beginner and can't wait to keep on tasting!

22nd December 2015

a fan of this brand

27th November 2015

Really good.

25th November 2015

I am a fan of blends, usually older and more expensive, however, I enjoyed this very much. It's a nice robust blend, large on the mouth but clean.

21st November 2015

I tried almost all higher whisky brands chivas is no. 1 in all criteria .

19th October 2015

It's best together with a glass of water, more smoother and gentle that way. Light spicy, some weak bitter taste. Not complex, and the finish could have been more interesting, could have last longer. I think I'll buy this again, but it's not my first priority when it comes to whiskies. A whisky just over the average level, but that's not bad.

9th October 2015

I love Scotch whisky and I love to drink it. That means, 0,2 to 0,3 l per night are my average consumption. It goes without saying that I don't bother about expensive Single Malts. I am rather looking for affordable Scotch Whiskies, Single Malts or blends, which provide a reasonably enjoyable drinking experience.

So far, I have mainly feasted on Johnnie Walker Black Label and Glenmorangie The Original 10 years. Now I will add this Chivas Regal 12 Year Old to my list. It is not as complex and good as the JWBL, let alone the Glenmorangie. But it makes a decent change to my standard blend every day whisky JWBL.
Nice nose, solid palate, you can feel that they are trying to reach up to the Black Label. And, I must admit, they do not miss it all too far.

2nd October 2015

I bought a 2 oz bottle of this at total wine. Im not much of an alcohol drinker but i thought this was good. Ive had one other whisky which was a lot smoother but this has more flavor. I believe one of the other reviews said they tasted a bit of peppermint, i would agree on that. Its nice and sweet and not a lot of after taste(which I like). Like I said i didnt buy a full bottle, im guessing the price is somewhere between 35-42, i feel as though it could be cheaper but thats just my opinion. I could see this being many peoples favourite whisky. Slainte mhar

31st August 2015

I change my mind, I wrote the review below and realized I was being too harsh. Chivas regal 12 is delicate, the grains in whisky is well blended, whereby its integrated well into the whisky. For $40 you can get better stuff, but its all personal preference.
If you want to get a whisky that is delicate and floral without being too offensive with any taste such as peat then this is for you.
that being said, this whisky is not too flavourful in anyway, although it is very sweet.

29th July 2015

I been a single malt drinker for awhile now, and lately have been exploring blends just because i want to broaden my perspective on whisky. Anyways, I just tried some of this chivas, its not bad but its not good. Would I buy this again? probably not, this is because its overpriced, teacher's higland cream is MUCH better, tastes way silkier and rich. Chivas 12, is very bland and "delicate" its very thin. For the same price, johnnie walker black crushes chivas 12.

So what im saying is, if you're looking for an overpriced blend that is okay to drink i guess this would be it.

28th July 2015

I bought a bottle on special for $42. I used to dronk it quite a lot but bhavent bought a bottoe for five or so years.
I remember it being thick n smooth, a really nice texture n taste for a blended.
The new bittle i bought is thin and sharp and lacking any charater.
Has the quality declined or has my palatte improved?

29th June 2015

So smooth, so rich and delightful. I prefer this blend to single malts. It is well done and very tough product to beat,

17th June 2015

Quaffable blended Whiskey, creamy in the mouth with a spicy peppery finish, definitely worth considering for the price.

5th May 2015

Gradually getting to enjoy, I'm try all types of whisky blended and malts. Had a few visit to different distilleries in Scotland and understand more about what the differences are. I would recommend this as a mature whisky drinkers choice, definitely a top 5 for me.

15th April 2015

Who wrote that CR12 is the best, they have not tasted any other whiskeys. For exemple Glenlivet, Aberlour, Benriach etc.. This more suitable for coctails or quick drink, shots.

11th April 2015

I have been drinking this for years, but I have the cherrywood rocker and the 1.75 litre does not come with the handle.

21st March 2015

Chivas is a wonderfully smooth whisky. Best I have had.

4th March 2015

Thought I'd have a go at this as I saw it at a reduced price, and after enjoying JW Black a lot more than expected. Didn't get this at all though - too harsh on the finish ('black pepper' notes generally just turn out to be throat burn for me though), thin and with far too much banana everywhere, and for me, not much of the expected richness and smoothness.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad drink as such, I'd take it over a budget blend no problem, but for the price you're better off with an entry level malt.

13th February 2015

This is too good, I have been a fan of it for a while now. It is too smooth, aromatic and beautiful!

1st February 2015

I would not agree with the two previous extremely biased (or even obsessed) opinions. It is a juicy yet elegant blend, showing both a nice (orchard fruits based) aroma and a chewy, moreish mouthful which accords to the nose. Good and quite long aftertaste as for a blend. In sum, one of the better 12yo blends on the market.

29th January 2015

Great Blend, not to be compared to Malt. In fact it tastes better than some blend like the Glenlivet 12 that is aged in American Oak. American Oak just sucks

24th January 2015

Drank this half an hour after I had a glas of Scapa 16 yr. True, nog fair to compare bit I will nevertheless. Of the blend nothing remains. Glad finished the bottle now.

20th December 2014

Had a taste of this yesterday and I never thought I could fill my mouth with something so vile and disgusting as this foul putrid liquid.
I was literally astonished by how much I hated this whisky.
All I could taste was a strong chocolate note on the tail end.
I don't know if this was a problem with this specific bottle but it was a most jarring experience I can recommend to no one but my most hated enemy.

15th December 2014

when it comes to whiskey i know jack didily squat, however ive tried a few and havent found anything better yet. i always try to buy different whiskeys all the time and for the buget this is the best. stay away from bells, and grants, yuk

11th December 2014

It is the one of best 12 years blend that I've tasted, I really feel the butter toffee taste on it and the finish is pleasently smooth.

10th December 2014

12 years of boredom.

27th November 2014

It's easy.....like Friday evening.

15th November 2014

easy to drink, honey, ripe apple.. very refreshing i have to say if compared to JW black label, however Black Label is more complex.. Chivas is good if you just want an easy going scotch and very refreshing. GREAT

9th November 2014

Its very good. If you want decent quality for an affordable price, well worth the investment.

5th November 2014

Has to be the best blend I've had, still would not buy this over my single malts like Jura

30th October 2014

Is first taste is sweeter but lingering finish too spicy. Not smooth to me but seemly odd compared to a single malt. I'd rather spend the extra.

24th October 2014

ive had bad and good bottles of this. never tastes the same to me

9th October 2014

Whether on the nose or pallette this blend affords the drinker with a complex blend of hand soap, battery acid, and mule urine. It's a terrible blend for the money!!

20th September 2014

The store across the way from me has it for $30 and it is definitely worth the money, it tastes and smells exactly how it is described here, although its more of a sipping liquor in my personal opinion.

10th August 2014

Where I am, I can get this for just around $30, and it is well worth the price. It has all of the tasting notes as described above, though I'm reminded of carrot cake a lot when I drink it. No reason to complain. A solid blended scotch.

2nd July 2014

Great for a blended whisky. As they say - quality blend. One of the best blended whiskies for it's price, in my opinion.

21st June 2014

Not spectacular, but a quality blend and worth drinking before moving on to other, more challenging malts.

5th June 2014

Yes, it is somewhat bland, but it is such an easy dram with a fabulous balanced gentle taste. Sometimes I just want a simple quality blend and Chivas 12 fits the bill and never disappoints. I take it with a small ice cube as there is an unwanted alcohol nip. It is often compared unfavourably with its rival JWB but I believe Chivas stands up well. They are both overpriced so I have marked it down accordingly.

5th June 2014

I was introduced to this a few years ago as my first starter whiskey and I have no complaints at all, I find it best served with one cube. if you want to treat yourself the 18year is defiantly worth a shout.

This is blended NOT malt!! Best tipple goin,, neat single cube or with green tea!!

13th April 2014

well I was just curious as I don't usually like many of the blended varity and usually stick with my favourafe Bowmore single malt. however when I tasted chivas regal 12 it had that lovely rich notes of honey that I could tasted and feel in all it's thickness swirling around my mouth and when swallowed it left this very smooth finish and I must say long smooth and soothing finish with no harsh or burning sensation to it. it actually reminded me of a Jura 10 year old origin but actually much nicer. but I must say this has to be the best blended whiskey I have ever tasted and will buy again. that and Bowmore are my leading favourites now but I love tasting different whiskeys even this I have my two that lead the way for my taste buds. 10/10 for a premium blended whiskey. try it it will not disappoint.

I am just curious, does chivas regal expire? I have one in our house, given to me as a gift by a friend but I am not sure if it expires?

It's ok. A supplier gave me a 1/5 Asa. Gift. Asked him to give me JW black label next year or I am switching suppliers.

18th February 2014

I mentioned in my review for JW Black that it and this formed the gateway of my interest in scotch.

Has more of a bite than Black, which is why I prefer this. I don't know if this is frowned upon (some guy looked at me with disgust when I did this), but I poured a generous bit of this in my cappuccino and it tasted amazing.

And whisky is really good.

Very quite good taste. For me even it is better than Hennessy VS cognac.

what wouldpbe the total cost, including shipping, if any for 1 liter bottle of chivas 12/18 YO

14th October 2013

Bought a bottle and did not like the bland flavour, although well made and of good balance. Also purchased 20cl Caol Ila 12 that was too thin, so added 10cc to the 2/3 of remaining Chivas. Wow! What an improvement. It adds some decent top notes and transforms Chivas into a terrific blend.

Hey! If you could pop all that information into an email to our purchasing team (purchasing@masterofmalt.com), they will be more than happy to help you out! --The Chaps at Master of Malt

I have a bottle of Chivas Regal from 1944 or 1945. The General Wines and Spirits, NY, NY seal is #155480892 Any idea what it may be worth??

11th August 2013

In family party it's just cool(or hot)

17th July 2013

I repeat, it is no big deal. More to the bland side with nothng interesting either in the nose or the taste. If there is woody note at all, it must be balsa

13th July 2013

Somewhat commercialized, yet still a good, solid Scotch Whisky.

9th July 2013

Smooth, Sweet with a Woody Finish. Simply Wonderful & Extremely Satisfying..

20th June 2013

This is a pretty solid middle-of-the-road blend, and certainly a good entry to quality scotch blends. Just a hint of smoke, sweet but definitely not cloying, a little bit of complexity.

However, I think it's a bit too expensive for what it is. There are similarly good blends (Teachers, Black Bottle) for less money, or better blends for about the same price (Johnnie Walker Black).

10th June 2013

Не стоит и 20-ой части уплаченных денег! Обжигает нижнюю часть языка, спирт. Ненавижу бленды.

(Translation using Google Translate: It is not necessary and the 20th of the money paid! Burns the lower part of the tongue, alcohol. I hate the nose.)

8th June 2013

First time dipping into a scotch that costs more than thirty dollars.
I was very impressed at how much more complex it was in comparison to other whiskys I've tried.
On the nose and on the taste, there is a heavy presence of what I can only describe as soap. And yet, it's still a very good whisky, but I think there must be many others that are better in the same price range.

22nd May 2013

people who say its cheap need to fix up!!! its better than anything I've had. chivas Regal is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

New aviation transport regulations have made it very difficult to ship outside the UK and Europe recently. Shipping to Australia is currently unavailable, but we are working on a solution which should be ready within the next few weeks so please do check back regularly. - The Chaps at Master of Malt

I'm from Sydney Australia do you deliver here.

25th March 2013

It's smooth on the rocks or not. I really don't like any whiskey on the rocks but I like to see the taste differences. There is better, but this a good start. I my self just started to drink whiskey. Do like Johnnie Walker.

22nd September 2012

it's a good blend. It is overrated but still it makes for a good decent whiskey.

23rd August 2012

Did not worth the money. Never buying this one again

6th August 2012

Hadn't had Chivas for 20 years, saw a half bottle knocked down to less than a tenner so I though why not? Glad I did, a really pleasant drop, if you can get over the single vs blended snobbery. On taste alone I thought is was very good and would buy again.

6th March 2012

Sweet, Smooth and a hint of woodiness. Loved it..

8th February 2012

A really fine blend that you can spend time with finding touches of, amongst the usual stuff, a little smoke, salt and lavender. But, OMG, the lable and box! Hand me my buckler serf for I will forego to the Co-Op.(other supermarkets apply and can be smite'd equally)

1st March 2011

12 yr - "premium" vs. "blended" - what's the difference? Had a 1.75 litre (with handle on bottle) with "premium scotch whiskey" on label. Just bought another 1.75 litre (with no handle) with "blended scotch whiskey" on label.

7th August 2010

i like it

26th May 2010

Had a hope for a classy dram but this was not quite that. It's a bit cheapy, I mean a strong burn feeling, a tad bland nose and lack of complexity on the palate. I enjoyed Dewar's White Label & Teacher's much more.
