Chivas Regal Chivas Regal 18 NV 750ml

Amber and bright in the glass, this 18-year-old blended whisky melds vanilla, cigar wrapper and chamomile tea notes with nutmeg and cinnamon spice, plus a delicate puff of sweet smoke. Feels light and silky, finishes long and gently.

An essay in balance on both the aroma and palate. Silky layers of delicate sweetness (honeyed vanilla, caramel, light toffee) permeate through clean, delicate fruit (citrus, peach, currant), and subtle, complex dried spice. Clean finish, with a hint of dark chocolate. A very versatile, very drinkable blend which suits most moods and occasions. Indeed, a benchmark blended scotch.

No blended Scotch whisky was ever more aptly named than Chivas Regal. In honoring the paramount accomplishment of Chivas Brothers, the majestic Chivas Regal 18, Spirit Journal hopefully likewise brings attention to the often overlooked, sometimes misunderstood, splendor of blended Scotch. Iconic Chivas Brothers master blender Colin Scott's genius has never been more apparent than in this cornerstone whisky, one which includes no less than 20 rare single malts from around Scotland. On a personal basis, we keep a bottle of Chivas Regal 18 at the ready at Spirit Journal, Inc. for when the day's been tough of the weather's inclement or the sun comes up. We find that few other spirits in the world center us as quickly and thoroughly as the exceptional elixir of Colin Scott. Don't know if a more complimentary statement can be made about any spirit.
