This 15-year-old Chivas Regal expression gets some of its influence from Cognac casks, and the nose has touches of dark fruits, red grapes, and a hint of apricots. The taste is light and fruity with apricots, red grapes, fresh berries, and subtle spices that come alive near the finish. The finish is long with subtle spices and lingering fruitiness.
