For James Chivas, there were two fundamental principles of blending: ƒ??old, mature stocks and a distinct Speyside accentƒ??. Master Blender Colin Scott adheres to those same principles today, with whiskies at least 12 years old with a generous measure of Speyside malts.

Ever since our triumphant return to New York in 1938, Chivas 12 has become a mainstay of luxury culture, shared with friends the world over.

'The blend for grown-ups, for people who have made their rites of passage and are ready to enjoy their success. Sweet, but not cloying. Buxom, but not overblown. Balanced. 9/10.' Paul Pacult in Whisky Magazine April 2000
