1970’s Chequers Superb DeLuxe in ceramic jug 5cl

The Chequers Superb de Luxe from the 1970s, often found in a ceramic jug, is a blended Scotch whisky with some intriguing tasting notes:

Appearance: Deep golden amber, with a viscous texture.

Nose: Rich aromas of caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, raisins, sherry, and honey cake, with a mellow and spicy profile.

Palate: Oily and thick, featuring honey and caramel initially, followed by spicy black pepper, vanilla, dried apricots, raisins, oak, leather, and a hint of floral notes like rose and jasmine. There’s also a unique touch of green olives.

Finish: Peppery, oaky, with old leather, tobacco, and vanilla notes. Adding water can weaken the nose and shift the flavors more towards wood spice and leather.

It sounds like a complex and enjoyable whisky, especially for those who appreciate older blends
