1980s Chivas Regal 12 one quart 86 proof US Strength

Colour: gold.

Nose: These old Chivas Regals were always quite meaty, or meady.. Lovely touches of old basement, soot, old wine cellar…

Mouth: Huge meaty honey, old Tokaji, glazed chestnuts, panettone, Stolle, fruitcake, dried apricots, a wee bit of halva or turron… This is absolutely fantastic!

Finish: Long, a tad salty, which is marvellous. Marrow quenelles stewed in honey and wine sauce. Killer.

Comments: Utterly brilliant old Chivas, you’re in for a total treat.
