Chivas Regal! Gosh, I’ve been wanting to write about this speyside a long time now. For me, it’s a trip to the past. It was the first “premium” whisky, the “good one”. My father had it stored for special occasions; good friends visiting, a promotion, his favorite football team going in the finals. So I grew up, in a kind of awe for this blend. It was the “good whisky”. Now, having acquired some experience I came back and this is my 2 cents.
NOSE:
Lemon, honey, wild herbs and a faint hint of wood.
PALATE:
Honey again, vanilla, hazelnut, a bit peppery.
FINISH:
Peppery and sweet. A touch of lemon.
To sum up, Chivas Regal 12y is an easy to drink whisky, worthy of its price and fame. I recommend it to novice drinkers. Enjoy!
