Мягчайший, качественный, но уж до ужаса рафинированный шотландский блэнд
Slighty sour to sweet with a sharper alcohol aftertaste.
lekker
Трішки краще за ballentines. Але ціна в рази вища. Не скажу що сподобався.
very smooth and simple
sweet, notes of vanilla, caramel
very smooth & not aggressive, sweet
butterscotch, vanilla
Delikatna, niegroźna, mało złożona
classic
Smakte denne for evig mange år siden hos en kamerat. Husker bare at jeg syns den var søt.
Zeer verrassende smaak voor een blended whisky. Ruikt naar de kersenlikeur uit de chocolade bonbons van kerst en heerlijk zacht van smaak. De lekkerste blended tot nu toe, voor mij. Erg lekker met old amsterdam. Ook wel met serranoham, maar iets minder dan met OA. Voor herhaling vatbaar.

nose: bursting with a wealth of notes. honeycomb, vanilla spice, heather, granny's warm fudge and subtle hints of cherry
palate: soaked overnight oats
finish: smoky notes to finish with lingering spices at the back of your throat
A high quality beverage but it's not interesting to drink it. However, after adding a couple of water drops and giving it the time, I've had slight leathery and smoked fruit tones on the finish.
This whisky can not be called ,,premium blend". Harsh and bitterness beats every other flavor /fuits in the background/. Aftertaste is full od ethanol /something like vodka/. Nothing for me. For that price can find much better whisk(e)ys, and even cheaper.
Not bad blended whisky. Usually for coctails.
good for mixers but nothing really special
Highly overrated. Burning sensation mixed with cheap whisky feel. Price is placebo
Silky and smooth taste, good but nothing special.
A light orange honey color. Surprisingly leggy. For years I had assumed Chivas was a tequila, because Chivas sounds more like a Latin American name than a Scotsman's.
The nose is prickly white pepper, butterscotch and perfume that must come from the barrel. Vanilla fruit, dried. Fragrant garden flowers. Honey-covered candied apples. Candied orange wedge, like the kind you'd get out of the bulk foods section.
The flavor is stewed apple, vanilla and honey. Some ripe melon at the front. The butterscotch comes out with a little chew. The sherry in the barrels hit the back of the palate and add some depth. The perfume of flowers (jasmine?) burst out. An herbal spiciness, akin to cinnamon that was stepped on, to use street parlance.
The finish is mild tobacco and musty basement sawdust. It's got a pleasant, almond component. This blends nicely with some vanilla creme. Honeydew melon and kiwi. There is some barrel residue in the finish that reminds me of a mild brandy. Semi-sweet chocolate. A lingering spice burn lasts a long time.
Chivas 12 is not a complex Scotch, but it's almost preternaturally pleasant. At the right price it's a great go-to.
Maple, vanilla, sweet, smooth.
Если честно, то этот виски для меня очень странный. Несомненно над ним хорошо работали бленд-мастеры... У него приятный аромат, с явным запахом ириса, немного дымности и карамели с цветочками.
Несмотря на приличную спиртуозность (этому виски не страшно подышать чуть-чуть) мягкий вкус, приятный. Сразу карамельная сладость с ириской, мед, смешанный с фруктами, немного дыма или точнее сожженного дерева. В послевкусии ярче всего чувствуется орешки, мёд и сливочные ириски и может быть чуть шоколада.
Вроде все неплохо... но как-то все вместе это не впечатляет. Просто все настолько приятно приглаженное, что от всего этого какое-то смазанное впечатление. Тот случай, когда все хорошо и в меру, а просто не цепляет. Более старые бленды этого производителя все-таки чуть поинтереснее.

nice soft whiskey, I think there are much better whiskeys at this price point but will but when in sale. Soft tones, bit of a warm finish, very nice on ice.
Not a bad whisky, evolves over time from something harsh to surprisingly delicate
Peach, vanilla, also harsh
Sweet, apple
Lightly peated, vanilla
very light, light sweetness, very slight bitter, easy drinker, very slight smoke finish.
Pretty nice blend, no harsh burn, full of flavor, well devolved.
Geruch: Karamell, leichte Eichennote
Geschmack: Cremig, Sahnebonbon Vanille

Eiche
Sweet, floral, and fruity (peach) nose.
Smooth palate, with slight spiciness and bitterness but not the usual blend nonsense.
74/100
Sweet and easy drink.
Smooth.
Pretty poor blend. Easy to drink but nothing special.
Thin vanilla and sharp alcohol
Smooth creamy, barley and caramel
Short slight spice but almost non existant
Fine for an evening sip. Not too flat, not oveewhelming. Wouldn't waste it with mixers thou.
I started with this in the airlines.....many years ago. - "Chivas 12 please, no ice". Drank it for years and enjoyed: I've since acquired expanded tastes and prefer Monkey Shoulder as my home, table whisky. 🥃👍
Smooth, sweet easy
Nice, blend..harmony
Almost perfect....med to long and
nice

Pieprzna, lekko ostra, niezbyt bogata. Jak na 12YO - przeciętna. Może ze względu na fakt, że to blend.
Pleasant. Exactly what you would expect really. Personally I would never spend this amount of money on a blend that’s 40% when I can get the infinitely better Buffalo Trace or for a bit more….
Very delicate, with sweet tastes of melon, honey and apples
Pouco álcool no aroma, menos ainda no sabor. Excelente 12 anos
Um pouco de álcool mas não atrapalha.
Adocicado, leve apimentado
Médio
sweet mild. good staple whiskey.
A classic Scotch. Soft enough. Tree. Easy
This whisky is generally enough smooth and sweet to me so that being a good choice after a long day if we select and think about in Scotch blended whiskey.
nice whisky
bom whisky 12 anos
Very close to ideal
Un blend classique pas très expressif ou on a des épices, un peu de fruit jaune mûre, du caramel. Rond en bouche facile à boire
Light apple pear fruity oak citrus spice vanilla
miel. un poco de madera y vainilla en gusto en el retrogusto aún se acentúa más la masera
Sweet and spicy. A hint of smoke in the back.
Basic blend. East drinking, Sweet and soft taste.
Nothing special
Basic whisky
Easy drinking. Short lived. Sugary.
Caramel. Vanilla. Malt.
Sweet caramel to start. Malt in the middle. Ends with vanilla. All sugar coated.
Vanilla. Sweet.
It's ok. famous name but a fairly basic experience on this version. generally found at a decent price, but better options in same range
A fine choice for a casual moment.
sweet caramel and vanilla
Gewöhnlich, etwas bissig und exzentrisch im Gaumen. Hat mich nicht überzeugt.
ordinary taste
nothing special
Give it a try, since I haven't had it in over 5 years...and I see why. Horrible
banana, woody
very little flavor for me, woodsey, very slight banana..more watery then anything
slight spicey burn..but again..nothing special
smooth, caramel nothing special
smooth blend, tasteful, not much of an edge to it.
vanilla cream with a little of banana
sweet and pepper, not oily, little of orange, banana towards the end
banana diminishes, a bit of pepper
smooth to drink
Pretty good for a cheap blended scotch. Nothing special but would rather drink this than Johnny Walker.
.
Unspannend aber ok. Kurzer Abgang, wenig intensiv. Mild.
niet bijzonder, goed te drinken.
Decent blended with vanilla and cane sugar.
Vanilla
Vanilla fudge
Cane sugar
fruity, sweet, smooth
nice everyday whiskey
This is just a very well made blended whisky. The nose (which is the best part of it) is very inviting and promises a whisky that has a very fine balance. Yes, it's aimed a a broad audience as a friendly and easy sipper, but you just can't argue with the quality. I like to compare this with JW black, not in terms of flavour, but in terms of it being a benchmark as a quality entry level scotch whisky.
Nose
82
Like stated, the nose is the best part of this whisky. A lovely combination of vanilla, honey, a hint of nuts, soft clove in the back and a faint touch of grass and red fruit with a gentle creaminess to round it all of.
Taste
77
A typical blend, with the grainy, creamy note starting things up, immediately followed by vanilla, honey and a subtle wood note. Less complex and less rich than the nose, but none the less: unpretentious and a fine balance
Finish
73
rather short, the taste just sort of fades out and then disappears allthogether, leaving with a slightly dry woodnote.
chanel #5
Mais pourquoi acheter une boisson pareille !
Condamné à être coupé avec du coca !!
Absolument nul !!!
au même prix, vous avez du Monkey Shoulder tellement meilleur...
flavoured but bitter
Very nice and smooth whisky. Definitely a good beginner whisky.
Very pleasant. Vanilla and honey to start. Thoughts of heather. Almost a peach after taste. Yum.
Nice smooth blend
Nice comparing to other blends. Dry fruits, vanilla, chocolate.
довольно мягко и мило
Quite nice on the nose, but that's about it. Smooth but bland, go with Johnnie Walker Black, Suntory Kakubin or Monkey Shoulder at this price point.
zoete aangename geur, de smaak daarintegen is scherp en onaangenaam.
Zoet, appel, vanille
peper
scherp en kort
gaat wel.
Zacht en fruitig van smaak weinig tot geen nasmaak
12 летний купаж...раскрученный бренд, не самая оправданная цена, но тем не менее неплохой виски! для тех кто не хочет заморачиваться с выбором лучший вариант
N:18, P:19, F:17, B:20. Amber colour. Sweet aromas of sugared fruits, dried apricots and some petrol. The taste is also sweet with fruity and syrupy body. Simple but quaffable.
Petrol, dried apricot, sugared fruits
Sweet, fruit, syrup
Sweet, short
Very fruity, mild. Easy to drink.
Vanilla and chocolate on nose but surprising lack of complexity and aftertaste, its smooth but just lacks X factor for me.
Simply boring. 1: honey 2: sourmash 3: Vodka. Those are the stages of this "Whiskey"
non male
nothing special
concerning its price for a peated blend of 12 yo i will take
nice and smooth. Good smokey taste
not bad
Not bad eventually. Always skipped for better tastes. Last time I'd very enjoyed after a heavy duty meat lunch!
bought as a present for me wasn't expecting too much but really enjoyed easy drink with lovely flavours coming through
Dans les premiers whisky bu à vie. Toujours bon comme whisky de semaine ou à la pêche sur la glace.
niet super om puur te drinken
mild sweet
nose is mostly honey, some fruits, some spice. palate is creamy, spices, honey, but mostly malt taste. a short finish is the same. pleasant, but, nothing special all around.
very good for blended whiskey. great for every day celebration with friends
Für einen Blended ziemlich gut. Preis ist angemessen. Sehr "verträglich" für Einsteiger. Erneuter Kauf kommt nur nicht in Frage, da ich vollständig auf single malt umgestiegen bin.
Simply harsh taste and alcohol burn at the end. The bottle moved on to someone who appreciated it
zeker geen slechte whisky.
zachte smaak met laag ABV.
Sweet and creamy. A little thin. A touch of spice but a slight alcohol burn at the e d
Not bad, more high notes than low notes, but fairly smooth.
Alright. Little bit of a harsh aftertaste
easy drinking but not remarkable.
Good not great. Could be a good beginner whisky, I got some nutty and spice notes
Not complex, just easy drinking stuff.
Me eerste whisky, me avontuur is begonnnen, en wat een begin, heeeeeerlijk
whisky, nothing special
light sweet (honey), light smoke
fruity, hint of vanilla
little spiceness, vanilla, apple
very very smooth, easily a session malt
Still one of my favorites
Great for the money.
straightforward, a little fruity without much of a finish
Smells a bit fruity, apple. taste is sweet and pretty straightforward.
light and sweet
wonderful whiskey with a taste of honey
sweet and a nice beginners scotch
Simple and easy. No surprises. Fine value for money.
Butterscotch,
Very easy drinking. Caramel blend. No complexity. No edginess. No intensity. Very straight forward and simple. A desert dram.
nice smooth whisky
Great value for money
nice blend
Zacht, lekker, maar basic
Delicious whisky
drinking from a bottle from about 1968?
Aus einer leichten, frischen Nase entwickelt sich ein Vanilleton, der von Kräutern begleitet wird. Anklänge von Thymian und Rosmarin sind zu finden. Diese Aromen finden sich auch im Geschmack wieder. Überlagert wird das von einer leichten Holzbitterkeit. Diese hält sich auch im eher kurzen Abgang, wobei sie stärker von einer Vanille-Toffee-Note begleitet wird.
Really wonderful whisky! Nosing first with mouth closed, then again, slightly opened; the difference is startling. The finish is elegant. Seems more expensive than it is; so best to keep mum. Buy it.
Great taste enjoyed the drink
Lekker 5 sterren
Really interesting blend with some smoke and oak notes. A little water opens the flavours in an amazing way.
beer in hard liquor form.
made me froth at the mouth
beer and grain alcohol
beer, frothy medium burn, sweet beer, frothy mild burn, wheatgrass,
rye
Good smell of wood and dry fruits. Alcohol feels too strong. Prunes, wood and little bit if vanilla in aftertaste. Beautiful body.
Wood | Prunes
Vanilla | Honey Apples
Wood | Balanced
smooth, albeit somewhat bland
Good bang for the buck but nothing special
Peat, light orangey vanilla
Peat, smooth, buttery
Bitter
Really, really good whisky (not just blended). I was skeptic, but I don't regret a € for it. Sweet, vanilla, a hint of smoke, lacroaix. Middle long finnish, slightly bitter at the end. In my opinion, It's a Walker many times more in every dimension.

Sweet, vanilla, a hint of smoke, honey is there, lacroaix, red currants?
Sweet honey, vanilla, wood, butterscotch yes.
Lightly warming middle long finish, slightly bitter at the end.
Decent smell, not a very nice taste... Will not be drinking it again.
.
very smooth and drinkable, not much there flavour wise though. better keep it as a mixing drink.
will drink it if no single malt is available
Chivas Regal 12 ein Standard wie er im Buche steht. Kein Meisterwerk aber auch nicht komplett schlecht. Etwas wertiger als der Rest seiner Klasse. Für Whisky Anfänger und Gäste die das erste Mal Whisky trinken möchten geeignet.
A widely recognized name, 12 years old but tastes much younger. Some apple up front and salted nuts after but a bitter finish. No real peat to which I am strongly averse to.
one of the most overrated whiskey I ever drunk
Flach im Geschmack aber nicht unangenehm.
nice, sweet, honey, i like it
smooth but don't care for the flavor
nice scotch with a smooth finish.
flat, not bad for a blend
nothing special but ok for starters
Warning, the scotch had been in my father's collection for 10 years, so my tasting may have been skewed.
smooth
my favorite blend
A smooth mellow whiskey with a little bite but no real complexities. sadly doesn't stand up as good as the 15yr old
so good
decent blend, sweet, some honey and floral notes. nice finish, easy to drink!
verry good whiskey for this money
not that special. affordable and easy to drink.
Einsteiger Blended Alltags Whisky
Süße Honig , Kräuter
süße ,Kräuter, würzig, dezente Bitterkeit hasselnuss
Malzigkeit danach würze
Not my favorite blend, but definitely has some interesting flavors going on
Solid. A go-to choice if you are looking for a decent no fuss whisky.
Has spice.
Pretty good and affortable blend. Nicely warm inside my throat and chest. Little bit spiceness on tounge
Nice and affordable
To malty for me.
Look for bottles from 70s to 80s. Great value for money.
Good blend but quite expensive. For that price I can find some really better single malt even though I love blends, too.
very malty, sweet and spicy. not my taste
sweet, vanilla,
very malty, not fruity at all, spicy and sweet
long and warming finish
very good Whisky for that Money
One of the better blended whiskies on the market. Nice flavours.
Good, basic blended scotch, suitable as a mixer or for those unaccustomed to or uncaring about the finer points of drinking scotch.
Top
heerlijke zachte whiskey
Un bon blend et abordable niveau tarif.
Soft light sherry nose / somewhat sharp on the tongue / taste: sherry, some red wine / something in it's taste reminds me of a hospital (something artificial) / short aftertaste
too spicy for me
Gentle nose not too powerful but still bold, luscious smooth palate with a subtle but lingering finish. A really good value for money blend...one of the best blends one can buy!
1 van de beste blended whisky's die ik tot nu toe gedronken heb.
One of the best afordable Whiskeys i know...
I love this whisky. Drink this one for the first time in a bar and now I buying this whisky many times.. Sweet tast of vanilla.
Mhe
Nice, joyful whisky with a little vanilla. Not too heavy and not too special, but still good and tasty.
.
smaakt goed maar niet bijzonder
A fantastic whisky.
nice
Pure excellence!
