About this bottle
A vintage Chivas Regal 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky miniature, bottled around the 1970s or 1980s specifically for the Japanese market. The Japanese text on the upper neck band indicates it was bottled under Japan's old alcohol tax rating system. The "Special Class" (特級) designation was officially abolished in 1989, verifying that this bottle dates to 1989 or earlier
