The Signature Blend
Chivas Regal's house style was built on smoothness long before this bottle existed — the Chivas brothers pioneered aged blended Scotch in Aberdeen in the nineteenth century — and the 12 Year Old is its definitive statement. The brand's blend block names its two pillars: Strathisla single malt, the Speyside malt from the distillery that serves as Chivas Regal's home, and Strathclyde single grain, married with malt and grain whiskies matured a minimum of 12 years in a variety of casks. The result is the Speyside-led character the brand is known for: orchard fruit, heather and honey in a round, creamy frame. Browse the house on the Chivas Regal vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand's official notes: a radiant, warm amber colour; an aromatic nose of wild herbs, heather, honey and orchard fruits; a round, creamy palate of honey and ripe pears with vanilla, hazelnut and butterscotch; and a rich, lingering finish.
How to Enjoy
The 12 is the range's mixer as well as its sipper: a polished Scotch and soda, a Rob Roy, or simply over ice. Step up to Chivas Regal 18 Year Old for the darker, chocolate-led expression of the same house style, and see more in our whiskey collection.
