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.

Fantastic
In my opinion the best blended whisky I have ever tasted. If anyone asks I will always recommend it. Obviously some people may be more of a connoisseur than me but I stick with my views. Very smooth.
I'm very new to drinking whisky and this was highly recommended by many online and off. I found it sweet but a little harsh at first with a bit of a burn but after it settled with a touch of water I found it very nice. I then added a little single malt from a speyside whiskey I had left and wow... It brought it on to a whole new level... I will buy it again... Recommended.
It is a nector to extend life
JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PEAT BUT I CAN'T TASTE ANY OLD SHOE LEATHER OR MOON ROX...
