CHIVAS REGAL FAQ

Chivas Regal is an award-winning whiskey, and for good reason. With each sip, the flavor of the world-famous Speyside malt unfolds, as silky as mellow, but each blend has its own unique flavor and aroma. For a deeper understanding of the Chivas Regal series, we recommend that you take a look at the tasting notes for the entire collection.

Chivas Regal is aged for at least 12 years to ensure that every bite is mellow. The wood of the oak cask breaks down the harsh flavor derived from alcohol, and the taste becomes more mellow over time. But when bottled, the process of ripening stops.

Spirits can be stored at room temperature, and Chivas Regal has no expiration date. To keep unopened bottles in the same condition as they were when they were manufactured, we recommend that you store them upright in a cool, well-ventilated, moderately humid environment, away from areas with strong odors.

Chivas Regal is produced at the beautiful Strath Islay Distillery in Speyside, making it the oldest active distillery in the Scottish Highlands. Its history dates back to 1786 and it was the first distillery owned by the Chivas brothers.

The name is derived from the Chivas brothers, James and John Chivas, who were born in the early 1800s. Their first business, selling luxury goods and liquor, was granted a royal warrant in 1843 and was responsible for supplying products to Queen Victoria herself. The name Chivas Regal was first used in 1909 when a 25-year-old whisky was launched, making it the world’s first fine whiskey.

Chivas Regal uses a blend of single malts and grain whiskyes from major Scottish distilleries, such as Strathclyde and Long Morne, but it is the single malt produced in Strath Islay that sits at the heart of Chivas Regal’s blend. The picturesque distillery is the oldest active distillery in the Scottish Highlands and is located in the Speyside region.

Due to the small amount of hop flavor added to the Japan cask cask whisky used, Chivas Regal Takumi Reserve is Japan not classified as a Scotch whisky in accordance with the Scotch Whisky Association’s guidelines. On the other hand, as in the UK, it is not classified as “Scotch whisky”. ）

Chivas Regal Takumi Reserve 12 Years is an innovative new product of Chivas Regal, which finishes part of the original sake in “sake casks”, that is, oak barrels aged from Japan sake. There are very strict rules for the production of Scotch whisky, according to which “liquor casks” are not allowed as maturation vessels. As a result, our products cannot be called “blended Scotch whisky” and are instead clearly labeled as “spirit drinks”. It also made it mandatory to add trace amounts of fragrances to products to meet other regulatory requirements. For this reason, “Chivas Regal Takumi Reserve 12 Years” has a very small amount of natural hop flavoring, but it is very difficult to feel the effect of the flavor even with the taste buds of an experienced person.

Chivas Regal Takumi Reserve 12 Years Old is classified as a ‘spirit drink’ in the UK, and we believe that Chivas Regal fans will be able to feel our iconic taste in all blends at Takumi Reserve. These rules may cause a bit of confusion among consumers, but we hope you will enjoy the fusion of Japan’s unique elements and traditions.

In Japan, Takumi Reserve is defined as “whiskey” based on Japan’s Liquor Tax Law.

While maintaining the smoothness unique to Chivas Regal, it is finished in a wonderful balance where you can feel the influence of delicate fruits such as fresh and juicy pears derived from Japan sake.
