About this deal
CR is what I'd describe as an entry level, inoffensive Scotch. Neither good nor 'bad'. No peat, not harsh, no Sherry sweetness.
UK Health Departments recommend men do not regularly exceed 3-4 units daily and women, 2-3 units daily As tastemakers in the music and drinks industry and with a shared commitment to leaving a legacy, Chivas Regal & Stefflon Don believe the journey to greatness tastes better when achieved together.Great blended scotch. As an entry scotch this is fantastic. Light, caramel, slight spice, vanilla, slightly sweet, and a wisp of smoke.
With an aromatic infusion of wild herbs, heather, honey and orchard fruits on the nose, the Chivas bursts with the smooth taste of ripe, honeyed apples, with notes of vanilla, hazelnut and butterscotch, creating the generously rich and fruity taste on the palate.Last night I vigorously shook my bottle of CR12 and left it open by the window for about an hour. I have developed this habit in recent months because it really makes a difference. Whisky needs to be woken up. of the water used in the distilleries is returned to the source it came from as cooling water. That's 9 billion litres saved every year! Nose: A creamy, aromatic melange of vanilla custard, hints of aniseed, lemon curd and butter toffee. Wood shavings and dried banana chips develop with just a hint of cassis. In 1843 the company was granted a royal warrant by Queen Victoria. The first of many such royal warrants for the firm. Being in Aberdeen, the biggest city in North East Scotland, the firm was well connected by rail with the distilleries of nearby Speyside and the Lowlands. The firm would buy, age and blend malt and grain whiskies into a consistent product such a Royal Strathythan which was launched in 1863. Overpriced and disappointing" if not actually bad. If I bought this from Lidl for a tenner, I would probably be quite happy.
