Scotch: Chivas Regal 12 yr Blend

Well, here is another blend. Not so bad really. First some things must be said:

1. I stand by my previous statements about blends and single malts
2. I will not rate blends. There simply are not enough blends out there to make the whole project meaningful.
3. Also, all blends are pretty good. Presumably they were blended this way or that way for a reason.
4. If the blend really stinks I'll let you know. It's possible, but chances are it would never make it into my glass.

On to the Chivas. This is a well known blend that has been around for quite some time.

Aromas of heather butter and a bit of wood. Being from Strathisla the flavour of peat and smoke are present. Flavours of coffee can also be found. The scotch is light and unassuming. Like all decent blends its smooth and well balanced.

If you prefer your Single Malt Scotches to be like Laphroaig then this one should be in your decanter. Otherwise, it's a nice smooth whisky that goes down well - a good blend. Again, the peat and smoke flavours distinguish it from other blends.
