Years ago (10+) I participated in a Chivas Regal 18 Year deconstruction. We tried several of the 18 year component whiskies by themselves (malt and grain) before finishing with CR 18. The big takeaway for me was how amazing the 18 year Longmorn and 18 year Strathisla were. I even mentioned to the rep that they should look at bottling some this. I instantly fell in love with both distilleries. For those that know Strathisla,....that ain't gonna happen. It is a very small distillery with the majority of their production going to Chivas. But I've tried quite a few Longmorns over the years. This 18 is the closest I've found to that original sample of Chivas Regal 18 component whisky. So good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I picked this up a few weeks ago at Specs in Houston, just now getting around to opening it up. I shouldn’t have waited so long. DAMN, THIS IS GREAT. So creamy and full of flavor. Just a great whiskey. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If England counts, then yes I've ordered a few times from Robbies, great little shop. One day I shall go up and visit. They're in Ayr, which looks like an amazing place to visit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anwalt Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 My Dad's house lacks bourbon. He prefers whiskey made by people who storm beaches with bagpipes. He served a nice one yesterday. It was shockingly cheap. Less than $20 in Indiana. Soooo worth it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 That scotch commercial at the US Open nudged me towards a pour of this. One of the few "non-Islay" whiskies that I really like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasled Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 My dad was visiting this week so we cracked one of the bottles from our Speyside trip earlier in the year. 15 years old, 46%, bourbon/sherry cask. A good mix of sweet and sour on the nose, same on the palate with some spicy ginger on the finish. Very nice. Cheers! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
