Master Blender Sandy Hyslop has crafted this expression at 48% ABV, delivering a distinctive flavor profile that bridges the worlds of fine wine and premium Scotch whisky.
The tasting notes highlight rich raspberry coulis and fresh vanilla aromas on the nose. The palate features homemade blackcurrant jam, lemon curd, spiced plums, and poached pear, concluding with a long, sweet yet complex finish with spicy undertones.
The expression maintains Chivas Regal’s recognizable 1-liter bottle design while incorporating elegant purple and gold accents. The packaging features a luxurious white, purple, and gold carton that emphasizes its premium positioning.
