Chivas Regal 12 Year

Nose is a fresh, light floral fruit, apple, almost a hint of a citrus-like essence, light vanilla or toffee, cereal grain, oak spice. Taste is virtually the same but with the slightest hint of peat smoke and a quick moment of brine. A moment of sharpness, bitterness but goes away quick enough. Taste certainly does not last long or deliver a heavy punch though. Not complex. Ok but nothing to write home about. Almost weak overall and tastes slightly watered down at times. But for a blend, it’s not horrible.

For the money, there isn’t a finer blended Scotch available.

This was my first scotch ever and where I became a scotch man. One more thing I get from my pop. It’s been price hiked to $38 a fifth here in OR, cant justify that. The gift packs that include a mini each of Extra and 18 yr for $35...ok sold. C’mon OLCC...get your shit together!
