Chivas Regal XV 15 Year Blended Scotch Whisky

Chivas Regal XV takes a 15-year-old Chivas blend and finishes it in casks that once held Grande Champagne Cognac. The Roman numerals are the age; the Cognac casks are what set it apart from the rest of the range.

That finish adds a rich, fruity sweetness. On the nose there's stewed apple, orange marmalade, honey and sultanas; the palate is smooth, with poached pear, butterscotch and toffee; and the finish lingers with vanilla and warm spice. It's bottled at 40%.

Pick it when Chivas Regal 12 feels too light and you want something richer for a celebration. Fans of sherry-finished blends should also try the Dewar’s Double Double 21.

Serve it neat or on the rocks with dark chocolate or roasted nuts; it also makes a rounder, fruitier Old Fashioned than most Scotch.

We carry it in the 50ml mini and the 750ml. More bottles are under blended Scotch, and the rest of our Scotch whisky is a click away. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery in Brooklyn, Manhattan & Queens.
