Chivas Regal 12 Year Old De Luxe is one of the world's most recognized premium blended Scotch whiskies, embodying the smooth, Speyside led house style that has defined Chivas since the 19th century. Crafted from a carefully selected blend of malt and grain whiskies aged for a minimum of 12 years, it is bottled at 40% ABV and celebrated for its balance, richness, and approachability. At the heart of the blend are Speyside malts - most notably Strathisla - contributing honeyed fruit character and soft malt depth, while aged grain whiskies provide elegance and silkiness.
Designed as a versatile and refined blend, Chivas Regal 12 offers greater depth and integration than entry-level Scotch whiskies, making it suitable for both neat sipping and classic whisky cocktails. Its consistent profile and polished texture have made it a global benchmark in the 12 year old blended Scotch category.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Warm amber-gold with bright clarity and medium-bodied legs.
Aroma
Fresh orchard fruits-pear and red apple-lead, followed by honey, vanilla, and soft toffee. Subtle notes of heather, light spice, and gentle oak add aromatic depth.
Palate
Smooth and rounded. Sweet honey and ripe fruit unfold into layers of creamy vanilla, milk chocolate, and soft caramel. A touch of hazelnut and mild baking spice provide structure, while the grain whisky ensures a silky mouthfeel.
Finish
Medium in length, mellow and gently warming, with lingering honeyed sweetness, soft spice, and a clean, elegant fade.
