Top reviews for Chivas Regal 12 Year Old:

— Highly under rated. solid !

— Best cheap whiskey but still a great taste

— When I turned 21 my dad took me to a bar where a band I like was playing. He bought me a double Chivas on the rocks. He's gone now but every time I pour some Chivas over ice I give a toast to the old man. It is a reliably smooth scotch with a buttery finish.

Good base flavor, but too much peat.

Light and smooth with good heat. Enjoyable neat.

Smooth, peaty, smoky.

Jeff,
Wasn't bad, but I just didn't like it. The only way I can really describe it is that it's bland. It was drinkable neat, which is good (and why I rated it above a 5), but otherwise I didn't like much about it.

Easy to drink whisky, perfect for a game of poker or serving after a few beers to top off a good evening.

Christopher,
Simple, but solid - maybe underrated even. Generic vanilla and caramel with some smoke in the background for contrast - and there’s nothing wrong with that! Cheers to Hunter S. Thompson’s go to drink

Ira,
An old unopened bottle of the 12 year old stuff, probably sitting there for 40 years, from my late father's house. Opened up because why not? He never enjoyed it but he wasn't a whiskey drinker, I am. Not bad stuff. I usually prefer bourbon, rye, or single malt scotch. But blends can be nice. I'm no snob, I love Monkey Shoulder. This is an ok blend, not particularly memorable. Wish it were better, it waited all those years for somebody to love it.

Oskari,
Honestly not that great, in this price range there are far better whiskies. There isn’t anything special about the whisky.

Drank it a long time ago. Passable, but things I would rather drink now.

Bryan,
This one surprised me. Pretty good and inexpensive.

Nose is better than the taste. Nose is sweet vanilla, little malty with hints of apple. Taste is kind of disappointing, initially sweet with some spice and orange zest but not much else. Adding water added some caramel on the front end. Probably would only drink it mixed into a cocktail.

Very decent, relatively smooth and a good buy for this money. I prefer Johnnie Black, but spend a bit more and you've really better SM's like Old Pulteney 12, Laphroaig 10 or Glenmorangie 10.

Mighty whisky. One of the best in its class. Long oak finish worth it!

Tastes kind of sweet and is smooth enough for the tongue. Goes very well with Coke. Packaging and bottle look beautiful.
