Chivas Regal 25 Year Old

That’s nice and fantastic test .I really want that again

Initial aroma in snifter is a touch of Licorice (big no no with me) or a dark dark cherry-ish flavor and leather. But a taste and that becomes smoky (peaty). This was probably in a barrel with charred insides at some point. Then smooth. Not as smooth as the best, but very smooth. Bit of singed leather aroma hangs in the snifter (o.k. I live in Texas...). Number of other subtle flavors that I cannot discern, but none too distinct. Makes me think of Jamie Wyeth's 1965 painting, "The Draft Age." A little too burnt, dark, and leathery for me to give it five stars. So the sorting hat says four stars.

Having tried a whole range of whisky and whiskey, I must say I have no idea how Mr. Colin Scott managed to create this masterpiece. At the heart is strathisla malt, but the other malts or grains were used here remain a mystery. I can only imagine it is around 70/80% malted whisky and 20/30% cereal grains due to the superb quality. Last but not least, this is the only expression I have had which has spawned from what can only be described as PERFECT cask selection. For a 25 year old, it is flawlessly balanced and zero bitterness/tannins. A feat of sheer genius and skill. I rate this 10 stars if I could. There is only one problem: not enough of it....

In April, 2015 I told my wife of 44 years that I made up my "bucket list" and number #1 on that list was a bottle of 25 year old Chivas Regal. At the end of June she sent my son to find me one. what a surprise and what total joy for me to share with my family such a wonderful gift. Can you put something back on your bucket list? Would that be cheating?

I turned this Quarter Century bottle upside down with ease on my birthday. This by far should be on everyone''s shelf and is unbelievably smooth. This Chivas recipe will always have me looking to keep this bottle stocked and if you have not enjoyed this near perfect whisky, you should do yourself a favor and treat yourself. You''ll thank me later.

Such a smooth, full, rich but subtle blend - skillfully produced and worth every penny. Nectar indeed. The range if tastes are massive, and so smooth like velvet. For discerning palates everywhere.
