Chivas Regal is a world-famous Scotch blend which was first made in the early 20th century by Chivas Brothers. The company can trace its roots back to 1801, with the opening of a grocers at Number 13 King Street, Aberdeen. Selling luxury food, coffee and spices, it wasn't until half a century later that the company started to make whisky, and then not until post-US Prohibition that Chivas Regal 12 Year Old was first officially released. F. Paul Pacult described Chivas Regal 12 as "the blend for grown-ups", awarding it an impressive 9 out of 10. It's a very apt statement - this is a very refined blended whisky, with herbs, honey and fruit leaping forth on the palate. Regularly lauded by the critics, this is a superb blend in its price category, representing great value for money.
A creamy, aromatic melange of vanilla custard, hints of aniseed, lemon curd and butter toffee. Wood shavings and dried banana chips develop with just a hint of cassis.
More of those banana chips showing through on the palate, this time there's a creamy hit of barley malt too, pepped up with a little allspice. Notes of ground walnut and caramel.
Light spice and black pepper on the tail. Lingering notes of cereal sweetness.
A spicy, beautifully balanced blend. Lots going on here.
Smooth with honey touch blend
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(:
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
Love it
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 !
