DOUGLAS LAING’S THE EPICUREAN LOWLAND BLENDED MALT SCOTCH WHISKY – 700ML

Exceptional value for the price. This is a blended malt whisky drawn from what the distillery calls the top 1% of its casks. It is a blend of 5 single malts: Tormore, Longmorn, Allt A’Bhainne, Braevel and Strathisla.

Chivas 12 is smooth, rich and generous. It’s a blend of the finest malt and grain whiskies matured for at least 12 years, that deliver luxurious honey, vanilla and ripe apple notes.

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

Palate:  Rich and fruity on the palate, this Chivas bursts with the smooth taste of ripe, honeyed apples and notes of vanilla, hazelnut and butterscotch before a generous, lingering finish.Very smooth sipping Scotch

Finish: Light spice and black pepper on the tail. Lingering notes of cereal sweetness.

Overall: A spicy, beautifully balanced blend. Lots going on here.

“Chivas Regal Extra is selectively matured in Oloroso sherry casks. The result is a whisky that’s both deep in aroma, rich in fruitiness and generous in sweetness.” – Colin Scott, Chivas Master Blender.

Chivas Regal Extra promises an exceptionally rich and generous Scotch whisky experience. The secret to its taste lies in selectively blending whiskies matured in sherry casks. Originally from Spain, these finest Oloroso sherry casks guarantee its prime quality, imparting the whiskies deeper amber colour along with rich, sweet and spicy flavours. The result is an outstanding expression of Chivas’s master blender’s craft.

The humble cask is centre stage in creating the perfect blend. Sherry casks imparting a deep rich colour to the whisky, whilst the bourbon cask can be relied upon to give a more golden hue. But it’s all in the blend. Combining these individual signatures to craft the unique character you find in every bottle of Chivas.
