Chivas isnt bad, but I prefer Chivas 18 over 12. I did notice that 12 year Dimple was going cheap recently, and they’re running out the 12 year old Dewars
Few would argue that a 12yo Chivas is better than an 18yo…but that’s not really the point. $39 for a Scotch is $39 for Scotch. Quality of the drink isn’t what this deal is about.
