chivas regal age please??

Whisky does not age once bottled, so your Chivas is still 12 years old.

Sorry to tell you, but it's still "12 year old" Scotch. Time in the barrel is what makes it improve; time in glass is neutral at best, and negative if stored in heat or light.

There may be collectors looking for something like that, maybe someone can post a pointer. But as far as drinking, it was probably better in

If you're thinking you have a really old and valuable scotch on your hands now, it's not so. Whisky stops changing when it's bottled. All the meaningful aging takes place in the cask, before it's bottled. Unless the cork or screw cap leaks, in which case it will have changed for the worse, you still have a decent 12-year-old blend in there, but nothing special or valuable. I don't believe there is a collectors' market for that kind of thing. Sorry to disappoint.

I finished the last bottle of Chivas 12 a month or two ago (inherited from my father's liquor cabinet). It was estimated to be about 30 years old (he bought a case as gifts) stored in cool, dark cellar. The cork crumbled when I opened it but the scotch was ...... 12yo Chivas. I don't buy Chivas, but remembered sort of how it used to taste ... way back when. I don't recall any markings on the bottle that might give away the date of bottling, but it's largely irrelevant.

Not a big collectors market, but usually the older bottles do sell for more than they are worth on ebay.
