Chivas Regal Extra

My war horse. A good, cheap, sherried whisky. Figs, raisins, maraschino cherries, wedding cake, christmas cake, candied fruits. On the palate it is a little rough, but greatly sherried. Dark chocolate and tobacco. Red fruits. Aftertaste has a cinmamon, dark chocolate bitter chocolate. Great dram, 85 over 100

Definate Sherry influence, it is like the 12 year, a little thinner, but with more dry fruit. The nose is light, a little sharp, with hints of vanilla and citrus. The palette is vanilla, citrus, plums, and a faint wisp of smoke. The finish is dry, a sour note, some mild barrel tannins, and a lingering citrus, more pithy than bright.
