A remarkable and highly collectible bottle of Chivas Regal 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky, this specific release captures the essence of the brand's production during the 1990s. A true heritage item, this bottle is a time capsule representing the classic presentation and celebrated blend that solidified Chivas Regal's global reputation. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Chivas Brothers, founded in 1801 in Aberdeen, Scotland.
Hailed as "Scotland's Prince of Whiskies," this blend is renowned for its exceptional smoothness and balanced character. At its heart are fine malt and grain whiskies, with its origins tied to Strathisla, the oldest operating distillery in the Scottish Highlands. The flavor profile, as described in its era, is distinguished by a light aroma, a full and smooth palate, and a complex, balanced flavour with a subtle hint of smoke. This 1990s bottling offers a chance to experience the historic character of one of the world's most famous Scotch whiskies.
For collectors, this edition is a sought-after piece due to its excellent state of preservation and its distinct 1990s aesthetics, which differ from contemporary releases. The combination of the age statement, brand heritage, and vintage presentation makes it a noteworthy addition to any serious whisky collection. This is more than just a spirit; it is a preserved piece of whisky history.
The bottle's presentation is a classic of its time. The ornate main front label proudly displays the Chivas Regal name and the "FOUNDED 1801" insignia. It specifies the contents as a "BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKY" and a "PRODUCT OF SCOTLAND," bottled by Chivas Brothers Ltd in Aberdeen. An elegant upper label arched over the main display clearly states, "THIS WHISKY IS 12 YEARS OLD." The neck wrap features a distinctive medallion with the slogan "SCOTLAND'S PRINCE OF WHISKIES." The back label provides the brand's narrative and tasting notes, along with import information for the U.S. market.
Visually, the bottle is striking. It is sealed with a maroon screw cap featuring a gold embossed crest of a lion and unicorn. The main label is rich with intricate gold and maroon scrollwork, centered around the Chivas Brothers coat of arms. The bottle itself is in excellent condition, showcasing the beautiful amber hue of the aged whisky within. The accompanying gift set box, if present, features a silver and black design with various heraldic symbols, adding to its vintage appeal.
The fill level of this bottle is outstanding, resting high in the neck. This indicates minimal evaporation and excellent storage, ensuring the integrity of the spirit within has been well-maintained over the years.
