Chivas Regal 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky, 70cl

Product Information

Inside it's the same delicious 15 year old blended Scotch, finished in casks that previously held Grande Champagne Cognac.

The 1950s to the 1970s were a boom period for Scotch whisky and Chivas Brothers built several new distilleries to meet demand such as Glen Keith in 1957, Braes of Glenlivet in 1974 and Allt-a-Bhainne in 1975. During the ‘70s Seagram acquired a plethora of distilleries including The Glenlivet, Longmorn, Aberlour and Benriach. It's a very apt statement - this is a very refined blended whisky, with herbs, honey and fruit leaping forth on the palate.When I don’t know which bottle to pick from my bar, when I just want something in my hand, and when I don’t feel like “analyzing” what I am drinking… this works.

An exceedingly mellow blended Scotch whisky from Chivas Regal, a portion of this expression is finished in American rye casks! If you've more disposable income to spend or have only a taste for peaty whisky you'd probably prefer something else however.Just like other giants of whisky blending like John Walker of Kilmarnock, they started out selling wine, tea and other groceries as well as blending whisky. Your information may be used by Chivas Brothers International Limited and made available through us to other members of the Pernod Ricard Group. To tap into the burgeoning market for luxury whiskies especially in America, they came up with a 25 year old blend with a high malt content which they dubbed Chivas Regal. This splendid 13 year old blended Scotch whisky joins the Chivas Regal range, and a selection of the whisky that goes into the blend is matured in bourbon casks. Chivas Brothers became the Scotch whisky arm of the Canadian drinks giant which also owned Strathisla distillery in Speyside so this became a major component of the blends.
