Chivas revolve

Let's just say this will not revolt your senses, nor become your favourite Chivas anytime soon

A 17yo Chivas Regal blend that spins and commemorates revolutions. That is the description of this very eye-catching expression of one of the most popular whiskies of the world. The cool decanter spins like crazy, and i believe it is a good challenge for the JW swing. Actually this is a very rare, discontinued release, that i am 99% sure that was only for the Japanese market. Bottled at 43%abv, golden color. On the nose, a good offering. Vanilla, oranges, peaches and pepper; definitively a Chivas Regal. Some grain whisky, maize, creamy chocolate. White chocolate with almonds. After a first sip, it gave me a frozen, wet, vanilla cake. Yeast, a cold aroma (actually feels cold), mint. Orange sponge cake. The palate was simple but beautiful. The frozen, wet vanilla cake with ice cream was really here. Hay, chocolate. Absolutely enjoyable. Aftertaste delivered a spice bomb. Pepper, salt and grain. Good. Overall, this is a very easy drinkable and appealing dram. Nothing too special, you are getting exactly a 17yo Chivas Regal for your tasting pleasure. A nice offering, with a collectible decanter. My score for it is a solid 86 over 100.
