Chivas Regal 12 Year Old

Realised that I had a bottle of Chivas Regal 12 that I had gotten for last Christmas in the back of the whisky cabinet, lets crack it open and give a serious try to this popular blend.

Nose: mostly a nose of malts and grains, orange rind and rind oils, a little floral, hints of toffee and nuts.

Palate: oily, butter and malty, cooking oils, breakfast cereal (weet-bix like), some raisins.

Finish: semi-sweetness, malty, slight sultana/raisin fruitiness, very oily in texture.

while not exactly bursting with flavour, it's got the great quality of a cheap blend of not having any obnoxiously bad notes. Mixes very well too. A nice alternative to JW red and black in the basic blend market.
