Is Chivas Regal better than black?

Black Label holds much more complexity in the palate and finish, but the Chivas can compete nose-wise. Chivas doesn't swim very well, its palate and finish mostly dropping away. ... So, I recommend Chivas neat. It's a great starter whisky since it's smooth, mild, and noses very well.

Is Black Label a good whiskey?

Black Label (40 percent ABV, 80 proof) is a great introduction to the taste of scotch because it offers a nice balance of sweet and peat. It is an elegant (almost scrumptious) scotch at a great price and a reliable whisky that can easily become a regular in any bar.

Does Chivas Regal get better with age?

The aging effect of whisky stops once it is bottled. It wont become better like wine does with time. While Chivas is a decent blend, and 62 years is a long time, your bottle will still taste like a decent blend. It will be a bit different from today's Chivas, which is interesting as a comparasion.
