Chivas Regal 25 Year Old is a luxurious revival of one of the world's first prestige blended Scotch whiskies. Originally launched in 1909 as the first 25 year old Scotch blend sold in the United States, it quickly became a symbol of refinement and success before disappearing during Prohibition. Reintroduced in the early 21st century, this modern expression honours that heritage while showcasing the expertise of Chivas' master blenders. Crafted from a selection of rare, long-matured malt and grain whiskies aged for a minimum of 25 years, it is bottled at 40% ABV and presented in an opulent, individually numbered bottle.
At the heart of the blend are Speyside malts that provide richness and fruit depth, complemented by aged grain whiskies that contribute silkiness and elegance. Extended maturation in oak casks allows complex layers of dried fruit, chocolate, and spice to develop, resulting in a whisky that is both powerful and impeccably balanced. Chivas Regal 25 is designed for celebratory moments and slow appreciation, offering depth without overt heaviness.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep amber with glowing copper highlights and slow, luxurious legs.
Aroma
Opulent and layered. Notes of rich orange marmalade, dried apricot, and sweet sultanas rise first, followed by dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and hints of cinnamon and polished oak.
Palate
Velvety and full-bodied. Sweet ripe fruit and honeyed malt unfold into layers of caramel, dark chocolate, almond, and gentle baking spice. Subtle oak tannins and delicate smokiness provide structure and depth without overpowering the sweetness.
Finish
Long, warming, and elegantly refined, with lingering dried fruit richness, soft spice, and a smooth, luxurious fade that reflects its extended maturation.
