Chivas Regal Mizunara

Fruity, mild vanilla and caramel, spicy finish

Reasonably competent blend but lacks any sort of complexity or refinement. Tastes somewhat similar to a Japanese whisky, but to me that’s Scotch in general. The Japanese oak barrel aging didn’t seem to add anything positive compared to other Chivas juice. Outrageously over-priced at $50, but I picked it up at $25 on clearance. It’s fine at that price.

Still a chivas regal in all its essence, which could be a plus for some, but lacks the oomph I was looking for. The mizunara finish gave it an almost maple syrup sweetness and consistency when it first hit the tongue , but only for a short while. Then it goes back to classic chivas generic whisky notes of woodiness, hint of peat and fruit. For the price I paid, i much prefer other scotch...
