Chivas Regal 1997 Employee Only Bottling Blended Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep golden amber with a coppery sheen and mahogany undertones.

Nose

Ornate nose of dark plum, fig and raisin, with cherry glaze and a lift of orange zest. Sherry-soaked richness threads through vanilla, toffee and almond, while cocoa and toasted oak give depth, finishing with a warm, spicy kiss of cinnamon and clove.

Palate

Silky, medium-full on the palate, with sherry-laden sweetness and a wine-dark depth. Notes of fig, raisin, toffee and dark chocolate mingle with orange zest and almond, underpinned by polished oak. A kiss of spice travels through the mid-palate, culminating in a long, warm finish where refined fruit lingers with gentle spice.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with sherried depth. Dark fruit compote of fig and raisin lingers with hints of orange zest, cocoa, and soft vanilla. Velvet oak and gentle spice drift into a warm, lingering glow, inviting another sip.
