Christian Lacroix and Chivas Regal 18 year old

I was recently invited to inspect the latest collaboration between Christian Lacroix and Chivas Regal.

Following the success of the award-winning Chivas 12 Year Old Magnum by Christian Lacroix last year, the world`s first luxury whisky and the French fashion house have produced another striking collaboration, with detail and style that are truly impressive to behold.

With flamboyant creativity, innovation and in true Lacroix style, Christian Lacroix has brought haute couture to Scotch whisky with the bejeweled Chivas 18 Year Old bottle, presented in a mirrored treasure box.

Sacha Walckhoff, Creative Director of Christian Lacroix, said “By creating this gold stamped and embroidered Chivas 18 Year Old bottle nestled in a precious brocade box, we wanted, once again, to convey the spirit of chivalry that is dear to both of our brands, while always keeping the quintessence of luxury and exuberance inherent to the House of Christian Lacroix.”

Chivas Regal Global Brand Director James Slack, said `Christian Lacroix has produced something magnificent in the new Chivas Regal 18 Year Old Limited Edition – a design that perfectly combines the luxury of haute couture and the craftsmanship of luxury Scotch whisky. What we are presented with, is not simply a bottle of whisky, but a crafted collector`s piece. We feel privileged to have worked with Christian Lacroix yet again and are proud to include such an extraordinary limited edition to the Chivas Regal range.`

Chivas Regal 18 Year Old by Christian Lacroix will be released as a limited edition with only 3,000 bottles available internationally and will be available at the travel retail price of US$495.00.
