Flavor & Aroma Profile

Nose
Typically opens with rich aromas of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and subtle spice. Gentle hints of citrus peel and oak are commonly present, adding depth without sharpness.
Palate
Smooth and full-bodied, often characterized by layers of dark chocolate, malt sweetness, dried fruit, and soft spice. The balance between sweetness and oak influence is a defining feature.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering notes of cocoa, gentle smoke, and mellow spice that fade gradually without harshness.
How It’s Made
Chivas Regal 18 Year Old is produced by blending carefully selected malt and grain whiskies from across Scotland. Each component whisky is matured in oak casks for at least 18 years, allowing flavors to develop and integrate over time. The blending process focuses on consistency, balance, and smoothness rather than dominance of any single characteristic. Traditional Scotch whisky production methods are followed, including copper pot distillation for malt whiskies and continuous distillation for grain whiskies.
How to Enjoy
- Neat: Allows the full depth and complexity of the whisky to be appreciated.
- On the rocks: A few ice cubes gently soften the profile and open up subtle aromas.
- With water: A small splash of water can help release additional flavors without overpowering the whisky.
- Classic whisky serves: Occasionally used in premium, spirit-forward cocktails where the whisky remains the focus.
