As one of the best-selling Blended Scotches in the world (after JW Black Label), Chivas Regal 12 certainly stands out from the crowd of cheap and low quality alternatives. Fruity and slightly aromatic notes with honey, caramel and vanilla characterize the nose. No exiting features or great complexity can be found though. The lead malt Strathisla 12 comes through in the taste: it is light and sweet with creamy honey, red apples, toffee and a pleasant nuttiness. Old refill cask bitterness remains of a quickly gone finish. A flawless but uneventful blended whisky with age statement.
