Chivas Regal XV, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2024 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky
Now on general release, this 15 year old blend selectively finished in cognac casks has a nose of honey-glazed apple, white pepper, cinnamon bark, red grape, toasted marshmallow, and baked cookies. Smooth and weighty on the tongue, the flavors showcase baked apples smothered in syrup, cinnamon, brown sugar, toffee, grape jelly, malt, chocolate ganache, and an array of spices. Brown sugar, spice, and apple pie carry through into a long finish.
