While many prefer this blend neat, it serves as an exceptional base for a sophisticated Old Fashioned. The complexity of the 18-year-old spirit stands up perfectly to the addition of bitters and a touch of sugar.
Combine two ounces of Chivas Regal 18 with a single sugar cube soaked in two dashes of Angostura bitters. Add a large, clear ice cube and stir gently for thirty seconds to achieve the perfect dilution and temperature.
Garnish with a wide strip of orange zest, expressing the oils over the glass before dropping it in. The citrus brightness perfectly complements the deep, velvety notes of the whisky, creating a balanced and luxurious drinking experience.
