Chivas Regal 12 year Old
“He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.” – English poet and playwright Samuel Johnson. After reading an article about Mister Hunter S. Thompson doing just that ↑ – I thought why not have a look at his favourite whiskey tipple – Chivas Regal. Chivas Regal is one of the best selling scotch blends in the world and is truly a global whisky. The one we are going to look at today is Chivas Regal 12 year old.
This is a rich and lingering whiskey. When you get your nose into the glass, the aromas are nothing short of great. Herbs, honey and fruit all come through. It has a creamy palate and a full rich taste of honey and apples – with a bit of butterscotch coming through too.
So get out there and try it, and find out why Thomson drank this all day everyday.
Cheers, Sláinte
