Details
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.
Tasting Notes
NOSE 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. |
|
PALATE 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. |
|
FINISH Rich and fruity, ripe, honeyed apples, and notes of vanilla, hazelnut and butterscotch. |
|
OVERALL A spicy, beautifully balanced blend. Lots going on here. |
