{"product_id":"chivas-regal-12-year-old-takumi-reserve","title":"Chivas Regal 12 Year Old Takumi Reserve","description":"Chivas Regal Takumi Reserve 12 Year Old is an inspired collaboration between Scotland and Japan, created as a tribute to Japan’s dynamic, ever-evolving traditions. Conceived by the Chivas Regal Master Blender, this innovative release reimagines the possibilities of cask finishing.\n\nThe process begins with oak casks that once held Chivas Regal whisky, which are then used to mature Masuizumi, a distinguished sake from Toyama Prefecture. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nThese sake-seasoned casks are subsequently used to finish a portion of 12-year-old Chivas Regal, resulting in a whisky of remarkable character. \n\nThe final spirit is a seamless fusion of Chivas Regal’s hallmark richness and smooth, honeyed depth, lifted by delicate fruit notes and a subtle aromatic elegance imparted by the sake cask influence.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\nWhile labelled as “whisky” under Japanese law, this release does not conform to Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) guidelines due to the unconventional cask finish. As a result, it is classified as a “Spirit Drink” in Japan. To meet the technical requirements of this classification, a minute quantity of hop flavour is added — undetectable on the palate and with no impact on aroma or taste.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chivas Regal","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62420326318410,"sku":"HED04843","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED04843.jpg?v=1781910409","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/chivas-regal-12-year-old-takumi-reserve","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
