Chivas Regal is a blended Scotch whisky. The brand was founded by the Chivas brothers, who founded the distillery. The brothers received their first royal warrant in 1843.
The name "Chivas" comes from Gaelic seamhas, meaning a narrow place in a river.
The standard blend is 12 years old, though they also market an 18 year old called Rare/Old as well as a top shelf 21 year old called Royal Salute.
