This is a fine new release by Chivas, matured exclusively in Grande Champagne Cognac Casks. The only 15yo blend that Chivas has right now.
Bottled at 40%abv.
On the nose, its very appealing: Tobacco, Green grapes, Burnt oak, freshly cut green apples, Dry grass, Maple syurp and Pear.
On the palate: Red apples, Cinammon, Ginger, Burnt oak. Aftertaste is herbal spicy, long.
Overall this is a fine dram, an easy everyday whisky. 80/100.

Have you ever had port Charlotte cc:01? I have just failed at winning two bottles in auction (uk vs Aus Time difference rooted me). Had it back in 2016 and I thought it was great… …anyway, now finding that this is available as a cognac finished offering? Or is it full term in cognac cask? If you have tried the cc:01 I’d be keen to hear how you think it stacks up?
