Pros: Great lookin' bottle
Cons: Too much bite, even with some water
Summary: Being in a bar with guys half my age can be fun at times, I also found it could be depressing. It brings me back to an time when I was young and foolish. I'm not sure that being old, fat and foolish is any better but a good time with these youngsters I ...

Pros: Better than drinking rubbing alcohol...
Cons: ...But not by much!!
Summary: For a 'Premium' Scotch Whisky, Chivas Regal is pure displeasure. It provides proof that high cost and high quality do NOT always go hand in hand. This stuff tastes like a ten dollar rotgut, not like something that costs three times that amount. Let's ...

Pros: Sophisticated, smooth, neat, nice name!
Cons: One of the most expensive blends on the shelf.
Summary: It wasn't until I told my grandmother that I had a date with one of the Kennedy grandchildren when I learned why everyone in my family drinks Chivas. "You're having dinner with Ted Kennedy's nephew? Ted Kennedy's favorite drink is Chivas & Soda, you...

Pros: Smooth and consistent quality
Cons: none come to mind
Summary: Chivas Regal is always my first choice when it comes to scotch. Chivas is moderately priced when compared to anything that comes close in quality. Bring out a bottle of Chivas Regal, and there will be no complaints from anyone. Regal has proved itself...

Pros: reasonable price, decent mixer, better than most blends
Cons: Single malt snobs will probably not like it, too woody, very little peat flavor
Summary: I first tried Chivas 12 because it was a gift from a friend and I didn't want to hurt his feelings. Served neat it has a decent flavor but an extremely woody aftertaste. The peat is blended almost entirely away and it has a tolerable burn. I admit...

Pros: Quality and Prestige
Cons: None

Pros: Nary a one
Cons: A public disservice
Summary: I know what you're thinking: what do people whose traditional dishes are porridge, finnan haddie, haggis, and cock-a-leekie soup know about taste?
Well, quite a lot, actually. Unfortunately, we Scots also have a fatal affinity for marketing....

Pros: Smmoth, full bodied, silky flavors
Cons: 18YO dwarfs the 12YO (but still good)
Summary: I am a drinker of scotch whisky and a bit of an expert, love malts and blends. I drink Chivas Regal the 12YO is a very good dram. The 18YO is one of the best drams in the world!!!!! Do not let anybody fool you about Chivas, it is a tremendous Highland
