Chivas Regal XV

This is a fine new release by Chivas, matured exclusively in Grande Champagne Cognac Casks. The only 15yo blend that Chivas has right now. Bottled at 40%abv. On the nose, its very appealing: Tobacco, Green grapes, Burnt oak, freshly cut green apples, Dry grass, Maple syurp and Pear. On the palate: Red apples, Cinammon, Ginger, Burnt oak. Aftertaste is herbal spicy, long. Overall this is a fine dram, an easy everyday whisky. 80/100.

👃 It’s strange but I have first the metallic notes you can easily find in Irish Whiskey. Apple pie, a little bit of caramel. 👅 It’s a half smooth half dry palate. A bit briny, spicy (ginger). 🏁Medium finish. It begins smooth and but then a butterscotch aftertaste arrives. 🤔 Pretty nice dram. I prefered the nose to the palate, but the finish is nice. It’s not the richer blend I had, but it’s good and worth the price.

Nose: rich and sweet concentrated notes of stewed apples homemade orange Marmelade,honey, cinnamon and moist juicy sultans. Taste: smooth and fruity flavors of poached pears intermingled with butterscotch and caramel toffees all rolled up is a wonderful velvety texture. Finish: Rounded off with a touch of vanilla on the finish.

Nez : vanille, caramel, chêne, poire, clou de girofle, cannelle, herbe coupée, agrumes, raisins sec Bouche : épices dominante, raisins secs, poire, vanille, chêne Finish assez long qui reste sur les épices, les fruits et les notes d'herbe coupée Très simple à boire, bon blend bien équilibré et assez complexe

Ive never had a chivas ive liked. this is is mildy better than the original, having some fruity notes from the cognac finish but the age or complexity is simply not there. finish is gone in a flash along with any flavor. Id never buy a bottle personally, so much better out there

Nose: oak, vanilla Palate: vanilla, caramel, raisins and dried fruits Finish: tastes “old”, short-medium finish, round, cool Overall a decent drop but not worth the extra money compared to the 12 yo. Can taste the cognac in the finish and appears a bit on the nose.
