As much as I love the JW18, the Chivas Regal 18 is a truly stunning blend. It’s got these wonderful fruity spiced flavours that really dance in your glass. For me, it’s got fantastic depth and nostalgically reminds me of my grandmother’s home made marmalade on toast. There’s a beautiful zing to this whisky but with adult-level spice and complexity. Taste: A comforting mix of warming, malty cereal and smooth creamy vanilla, with fragrant notes of almond and tropical tangerine. A bit on the Thin side again due to the low ABV. The Palate is quite Clean without any off-notes. The Grain Alcohol is more noticeable here than on the Nose. The Palate is Sweet with a very light Bitter touch for balance. Soft Spices enter as well. Taking a sip of Johnnie Walker 18 Year Old, I’m immediately captivated by its intense flavour profile. The whisky has a remarkably smooth texture with a creamy mouthfeel that coats my tongue and throat. On the palate, I’m greeted first by slightly bitter notes of dark chocolate complemented by sweet dried fruit. Later comes an opulent wave of spices that create a complex burst of flavour – cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, pepper, and hints of oak. As this delicious medley of spices lingers on my palate, I’m left with gentle smokiness.The finish is long and lingering. The creamy flavours dark chocolate gives way to touches of honey and buttery vanilla before finally fading out into gentle smoky notes. It’s truly a delightful experience that’s enough to convert my single malt snobbishness. This whisky is utterly tremendous.

Chivas Regal offers a smoother, subtle whisky with light sweet notes, while Johnnie Walker has a more distinctive smoky aroma and flavour profile. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference as both brands offer excellent blended Scotch whiskies ranging between 12-25 years old.Nosing the Chivas 12, there’s subtle hints of heather, honey, and ripe fruit coming through. I also get a mild scent of spice. On the first sip, there’s an immediate peppery heat. Initially, this feels a little harsh, but it does eventually subside to an underlying honey sweetness. Adding a little water certainly helps as I begin to taste a mild herbal aroma. On reflection, I’d definitely recommend adding water from the start to relieve some of the harsh spiciness. On the palate, I can taste smooth creamy toffee with notes of sweet fruit and spices. Later, I also get a warming hint of cinnamon and a touch of peppercorn which dances on the tongue. The finish is warm and smoky, leaving a lingering sensation on my tongue. The 1990s saw the Johnnie Walker range expanding as the Blue Label, Gold Label, and Pure Malt joined the range in 1994, 1995, and 1996 respectively. Very blah; the same money would be better spent on a single malt. If you adore JW, keep going. You are competent in your field. Blend aficionados, while not particularly noteworthy, will always give you extra points if you serve this to someone who doesn’t prefer single malts. Blend lovers should continue reading elsewhere. Seriously. It’s not worthwhile. Glenlivet or anything, please.
