Chivas Regal 16 year old Charles Leclerc, 40%

Price: 70 ● Issue: Fall 2026 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky

Using Longmorn as the key malt, this 16-component blend was inspired by the Ferrari driver’s F1 racing number. The nose offers red apples, thick marmalade peels, peppercorn, strawberry sorbet, summer red berries, and toasted oak. The palate brings toffee, malt, dried fruits, red cherry, ginger root, cinnamon, pineapple, and grapefruit peel, concluding with a bitter- sweet citrus finish.
