Chivas Regal Aged 18 Years Review
If you’re working with a bigger budget, this Chivas 18 is a great, approachable blended whisky. The nose features sweet vanilla, baked apples, and caramel, while the palate is mildly sweet and malty. It may not be the most complex Scotch out there, but it offers great depth of flavor and balance. This is a safe option if you're spending big and your options are limited.
