Even though Chivas Regal is quite a 'commercial brand' as I call it, they make damn good whiskies. As a bourbon lover, Chivas belongs to my favourite Scotch brands. This one smells very promising, with a milky-chocolatey kind of sweetness in the nose, i smell marshmallow, fresh hazelnuts and clotted cream with scones. I expected it to be fruity when entering my mouth, but this was not the case. Light and creamy, rich and sweet. Kinda fruity at front but mostly mellow and sweet. I taste licorice root, thick sweet cream and vanilla. Burnless and smooth aftertaste of licorice root again. Hint of ginger. Very sugary. I love it. The Oloroso casks do their job. Excellent choice, especially for this amount of money! A favourite.
