Chivas Regal Ultimate Cask Collection 18 year old Pauillac Finished, 48%

Price: 160 Issue: Summer 2025 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Scotch Whisky

Finished in first-fill wine casks from the Pauillac region of Bordeaux, this puts a tasty twist on the signature notes of Chivas Regal. The nose has concentrated strawberry, with raspberry jam, toffee, light pepper, snuff, seasoned oak, and dunnage earthiness. A velvety mouthfeel shows caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, sticky toffee pudding, raspberry, citrus peel, and gentle oak spices, with a finish of chocolate and spicy gingerbread.
