Liquid gold. One of the best whiskies I’ve had to date. I could careless if it’s blended, it’s of supreme quality from Chivas who produce nothing but tremendous drams. The nose is excellent: caramel, honey, vanilla, treacle, and mixed fruits. The grains are extremely mature. No alcohol on the nose either. The palate is a swish of brilliance and the finish is beyond smooth. This is definitely better than the 18 (which is excellent too). The price is worth it for sure. 100/100 easy
