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.
£26.00 - £339.99
Didn't enjoy this at all. Nose wasn't too bad but from the first sip it unfortunately went straight downhill. All I got was a sweet, grassy taste followed by a harsh burn. The finish was bitter and short. Not great.
I don't understand why this is so highly rated on this website. It is (at most) an average, blended whisky, with somehow harsh nose and body. It shouldn't cost more than £17 and it would still lose (quality wise) to other similarly priced blends such as Teacher's. There's absolutely nothing special about this whisky. No, I will never buy it again!!!
Very easy to drink and the taste is smooth. I have it with tonic water over ice.
After reading the reviews and Paul Pacuit statement “alot goin on here”, being a novice but having my share of the good and bad, as a person who doesnt think rock-gut tastes bad considering the years of evolution involved “aka burnt wine..lol, found it very smooth, and considering the peppery taste which i always considered “it’s alcohol for chrissakes”, not the rock-gut you whisky snobs consider, not having a glencairn glass, but a liquor glass (i noticed master disttillers using and you tube critics) the only thing i could find, and a dropper, if you put a couple drops, maybe four on a dram, the sherry nose comes out, and the fruit...quite complex, but im still assimulating into a critique...scotch aged 12 years how can you go wrong, .? (from someone who drinks rockgut haha)!
If this was £40+ it’d be getting 1 star, but for £25 (actually I grabbed a 35cl for £11) you cant really complain. It sips easy enough but it is a bit lacking at 40% abv. Considering it’s a 12 year blend, I had hoped for a little more on the palate and finish but I wasn't surprised when it wasn’t there.
