Chivas Regal The Icon/ 43%/ 0.7l

Chivas Regal probably needs no introduction; this most popular premium blend has annual sales of 4.6 million cases.

Recently, the company has greatly expanded its offer, including several unique editions, including The Icon, described as "the pinnacle of Chivas' blending masters". "Icon" debuted in 2015 and its formula lists over 20 whiskies. Alongside Strathisla, Longmorn and Glen Keith, key to the Chivas brand, there are whiskies from distilleries that have been closed forever. This extraordinary drink is presented in crystal, delicately engraved decanters designed by Dartington Crystal masters, and their light green colour is a nod to the original Chivas Regal bottle from 1909. (Producer's tasting note.)

Aroma: deep and rich, fruity, with notes of honey, ripe pears, dark chocolate and orange cream.

Taste: strong fruity tones, sweet oranges, peaches in syrup and lots of vanilla, the sweetness of which is perfectly balanced by hazelnuts and subtle notes of oak.

Finish: extremely long, sweet and juicy.
