Chivas Regal 18 YO is a blended Scotch whisky built around Strathisla, the Speyside distillery long considered the spiritual home of the Chivas blend, joined by more than twenty single malts matured for at least eighteen years under master blender Colin Scott’s recipe. The result is a richer, more textured whisky than the standard Chivas Regal 12, layering dark chocolate and toffee against orchard fruit and a soft floral lift. It works well as a step up for someone who already knows the house style and wants more depth, or as a gift bottle with genuine age behind it.

TASTING NOTES
NOSE- Orange peel and pear give way to rose and a floral lift, dark chocolate and a wisp of smoke.
PALATE- Rich and layered with dried fruit, buttery toffee style caramel and vanilla, folded into gentle spice.
FINISH- Long and warm, closing on velvety dark chocolate and a mellow smokiness.
