Chivas Regal 12 Years Old is one of the most popular blended Scotch whiskies in the world. It is produced by Chivas Brothers, a company currently owned by Pernod Ricard. Price-wise it falls among the mid-range of blended Scotch whiskies. Since blended whiskies are, as the name suggests, blends of several whiskies, whisky connoisseurs often regard them as a no go. However, for its price Chivas Regal succeeds in offering a surprisingly sophisticated and smooth taste which makes it easy to enjoy. Of course, being a blended whisky, the aromas in Chivas Regal aren't as strong as in single malts.
Taste: Chivas Regal is a medium-bodied whisky with a hint of smoky aromas. However, what sets it apart from other blended Scotch whiskies in my books is the enjoyable aftertaste which provides a smooth, almost creamy finish.
Overall, Chivas Regal 12 Years Old is a very good quality blended Scotch whisky and its popularity doesn't come as a surprise. Of course, blended whiskies are nowhere near single malts but among its own, Chivas Regal comes close to the top.
