Chivas Regal Blended Scotch Whisky Icon

Chivas Icon is the absolute pinnacle of Chivas Regal — a blend of more than 20 of Scotland’s rarest whiskies, including spirit from ghost distilleries that no longer exist, crafted by master blender Colin Scott as his definitive statement and presented in a sophisticated green collector’s case.

Chivas Icon sits above everything else in the Chivas range — above the 25 Year, above the Ultis, above any age-stated expression they produce. Some of the components come from ghost distilleries: sites that closed decades ago whose remaining casks represent an irreplaceable and dwindling supply. When those barrels are emptied, that spirit is gone permanently. Colin Scott designed Icon to capture the full range of Scottish whisky character across regions, styles, and ages in a result of extraordinary complexity: no single note dominates, every element serves the whole, and the finish extends long past what most spirits achieve.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Honeyed orchard fruit, ripe pear, warm vanilla, and delicate floral complexity from the combined ghost and living distillery character
• Palate: Exceptionally balanced — dried fruit, rich toffee, warming spice, and a subtle smoky undercurrent from the rare highland components; full-bodied with remarkable integration
• Finish: Very long and elegantly complex — honey, oak spice, and dried fruit fading slowly into a deeply satisfying close

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Chivas Icon different from Chivas 25 Year?

The 25 Year is Chivas’s flagship age-stated expression — defined by its minimum age. Icon has no age statement because it draws from whiskies of varying ages, some significantly older, including ghost distillery components. It represents the absolute pinnacle of what Chivas can assemble. Limited allocation. Order online.

What are ghost distillery whiskies?

Ghost distilleries are Scotch whisky producers that have permanently closed. Their remaining casks are finite and irreplaceable — once consumed, no new spirit from that site can ever be made. Icon’s ghost distillery components contribute to both its complexity and its increasing scarcity.
