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.

Love Scotch a lot, but this one is just as bad as Dewars. . . Worst gift ever!
I’m not sure how correct this review would be, however, having recently been reintroduced to the joy that is the standard 12yr old Chivas Regal, which I already find to be superior & superb by itself & this despite being a staunch & somewhat snobbish single malt whiskey drinker, I mixed it with a shot of Glava which I’ve now confirmed as a new firm favourite of mine. Hence, cannot wait for next birthday which instructs the need for next level, £50 a bottle, Chivas Regal blue! Having tasted some of the worlds, or factually Frances, finest Brandy/Cognacs, this 12yr old blend stands alone in its level. of smoothness & complexity & yet a simple splash of Glava can elevate it beyond compare to other blends. Please try it peeps, I assure that non whiskey drinkers concur, you absolutely will not be disappointed!!!
I bought a bottle for guest. I tried to use it last Sunday celebrating my birthday. This was very embarrassing for me. When I tried to open it, it became so difficult the plastic on top broke and I couldn't pour it.
