The Japanese-market “old version” of Chivas Regal 12 Years Old represents an earlier bottling of this globally recognized blended Scotch whisky. Bottled before the modern redesign, it reflects the smooth, honeyed house style of Chivas with slightly richer depth and traditional presentation favored by Japanese consumers.
Brand: Chivas Regal
Expression: 12 Years Old (Old Version – Japan Market)
Type: Blended Scotch Whisky
Region / Origin: Scotland
ABV: 40% (some older Japanese releases at 43%)
Bottle Size: Typically 700 ml (also seen in 1 L duty-free sizes)
Maturation / Cask Details: Aged 12 years in American oak and European oak casks for a balanced malt-to-grain blend profile.
Status: Discontinued packaging — “old version” bottles produced before label and bottle redesign (early 2000s); imported specifically for the Japan market.
Nose: Sweet honey, vanilla cream, ripe apples and pears, with a hint of toffee and light smoke from older malt components.
Palate: Exceptionally smooth; flavors of honey, malted barley, soft oak, and caramel intertwine with gentle spice and hazelnut notes.
Finish: Medium length; delicate oak and vanilla linger with a slightly dry, warming spice at the end.
Considered one of the most approachable and balanced blended Scotch whiskies, the old Japanese version is noted for a slightly richer and maltier flavor profile compared to modern releases.
Collectors and enthusiasts often mention its smoother integration and better malt composition in older batches.
Though a common brand, these earlier bottlings carry nostalgic and collector appeal due to their unique packaging and Japan-only labels.
Ideal For: Everyday enjoyment, gift giving, or collectors interested in historic Chivas bottlings.
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy neat or on the rocks; in Japan, often served as a highball with soda to highlight its smooth texture.
Collectible Notes:
Features older bottle shape and label design (pre-2000s).
Look for Japanese import sticker or tax stamp on the back label.
Value depends on fill level, label condition, and presence of box or seal.
Not a rare whisky by production numbers, but nostalgic for those collecting vintage Japanese imports.
