Chivas Regal 12 Years Old Blended Scotch [700ML]

Description

Chivas Regal is a brand of blended Scotch whisky produced by Chivas Brothers, which is now a part of Pernod Richard. The Brand was founded in 1786 and its home Strathisla Distillery is the oldest continuously operating Highland distillery located in Keith, Moray in Speyside, Scotland.

Chivas Regal originally started life with their first 25-year-old to target the high societies in the United States. To compete with rivals, Chivas Regal offered a more sophisticated and complex palate by using higher malt content than many other blends of the time. Now, Chivas Brothers with tighter cask management have added 12-year-old and 18-year-old into the core range with 12-year-old being the flagship expression. The core range today has much lower malt content than its predecessors.

It wasn’t until the early 20th century that Chivas Regal’s legacy began when they held a Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria.

Chivas 12 Years is a blended Scotch whisky created by Master Blender Colin Scott with the majority of the blend being Speyside malts. Bottled at the standard 40% ABV.
