The casks carry residual Cognac character — grape-derived eaux-de-vie compounds that add dried fruit, warm spice, and a French brandy sweetness to the whisky during the finishing period. Chivas uses this finishing specifically to distinguish the XV from the standard range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow does Chivas Regal XV compare to the 12 Year?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree additional years of minimum age maturation plus the French Oak Cognac cask finish produces a noticeably richer, more complex, and fruit-forward profile than the 12 Year’s more straightforward blended character.
