Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is a 17-year-old blended Scotch from Chivas Brothers, made from malted barley and grain and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). In the glass it pours a rich amber, and the nose opens with ripe fresh fruit, honey, vanilla and oak, threaded with a subtle wisp of smoke. On the palate the texture is velvety, with apple and pear up front, creamy toffee and delicate spice beneath, and a gentle whisper of peat that adds depth without taking over. The finish is long, with fruit, smoke and sweetness lingering together. It suits the drinker who wants an aged Scotch that rewards slow sipping but never feels austere, and it makes a fine reference point in a tasting flight alongside other aged expressions. Collectors will appreciate the age statement, and newcomers to older Scotch will appreciate how approachable that balance of fruit and smoke is. We carry it because it shows what careful blending can do: layered, refined and easy to return to.

Pairs well with

Grilled salmon — The char and richness of the fish pick up the whisky's subtle smoke while its apple and pear notes keep the pairing bright.
Apple pie or fruit tarts — Baked fruit and pastry echo the whisky's apple, pear, honey and toffee flavors for a natural dessert match.
Scotch tasting evening — Its velvety texture and fruit-and-smoke balance make it a rewarding point of comparison against other aged expressions.

Only gently. The smokiness is subtle, described as a whisper of peat that adds depth and complements the fruit rather than dominating it. If you enjoy fruit-forward Scotch with a light smoky edge, this balance is the point of the bottle.

Sip it neat in a Glencairn glass to appreciate its layered flavors. Adding a drop or two of still water can help reveal hidden nuances. It also works well as part of a tasting session comparing different aged Scotch whiskies.
