Last month there was an unveiling of the all-new Chivas 12 bottle design at the hottest event in Sentul Depot to bring the ‘I Rise, We Rise’ movement to life.

The event was a toast to the new generation of scotch whisky drinkers and hustlers who forge their own paths and aim to elevate themselves as well as the people around them. Across the two days, the Chivas ‘I Rise, We Rise’ event welcomed over 3,000 guests.

The word ‘RISE’ was erected to offer four specially-curated rooms that showcase a blend of fashion, art, music and drinks in the world of Chivas.

As part of the art collaboration, Architectural Designer, Pamela Tan shared her interpretation of ‘I Rise, We Rise’ through a unique installation created especially for the event. Designed to sit within the letter ‘I’, Tan and her team built a colourful tunnel inspired by the sunrise and the gold liquid of Chivas.

The uplifting message of ‘I Rise, We Rise’ comes to life as guests are invited to walk towards a literal “light at the end of the tunnel”, signifying the journey towards success that we all celebrate and share in together.

Guests were also encouraged to express themselves and leave their mark on graffiti walls featuring a colourful mural created by artists Wong Ming Hao, Wong Chee Hwa, and Jason Teo.

The semi-realistic painting combined with a more comic style drawing was conceptualised by the three artists to convey the idea of breaking boundaries and creating endless possibilities, an idea that Chivas continues to inspire across the globe.

Chivas also collaborated with the renowned streetwear label founded by Hero Riser Ronald Chew, to unveil a pair of limited edition jerseys designed by NERDUNIT that combines the luxury of Chivas with the cool, contemporary designs of the label – all in time for the upcoming FIFA World Cup tournament.

These limited-edition jerseys are now available through NERDUNIT in-store or online for RM409.

Hero Riser Jon Lee of Penrose KL took to the bartending stage alongside his peers – Shawn Chong (Bar Mizukami), Karl Too (Happy Stan), Julian Brigget (Bar Trigona), Affie Adut (Here & Now), and Mel John Chavez (Smoke & Mirrors, Singapore).

Each night featured a different combination of bartenders, each of whom created a special cocktail for the evening using Chivas 12. Lee’s cocktail in particular, the Saffron Blossom, blended Asian elements to bring out the sweeter honey notes of the Chivas 12.

At the main stage, an explosive back-to-back line-up of DJs led by DJ Reeve and his DJs Playground collective, playing to the immense energy of the crowd on each night.

But the highlight of the event was when they teased the limited-edition Chivas 18 bottle designed in collaboration with its new Asia Brand Ambassador and music icon, LISA. To celebrate the occasion, attendees were invited to participate in a lucky draw for a chance to win VVIP access to a virtual event on 27 November featuring LISA.

The lucky winners will have exclusive access to the event, during which they’ll be able to create avatars of themselves and interact with the Thai princess herself.

Fans of LISA and Chivas will still be able to tune in to a livestream of the event on the Chivas Instagram page and YouTube channel on 27 November at 9:30 PM local time.

LISA’s limited edition bottle, perfectly complements Chivas 18’s luxuriously rich and complex taste that masterfully blends malt and grain whiskies from distilleries all over Scotland.

To celebrate the ongoing collaboration between Chivas and LISA, a specially tailored cocktail recipe, ‘Pink Spice’ has been developed by the brand in partnership with the musician. The recipe blends notes of tea, citrus and spice inspired by the LISA’s Asian heritage alongside Chivas 18’s elegantly layered blend.

LISA commented: “I had so much fun working with the team at Chivas on this limited-edition bottle. The bottle is typical LISA – bright, bold, and unique – and I’m so excited for everyone to finally see it. It is amazing to now have my own bottle – and cocktail too!”

The limited-edition bottle is the next move in Chivas’ partnership with LISA, who earlier this year was announced as the first female face of the brand in Asia. The partnership comes under the global ‘I Rise, We Rise’ platform which demonstrates Chivas’ continued commitment to celebrate and elevate the next generation of hustlers who are forging their own paths to success.

The Chivas 18 LISA Limited Edition bottle will be available in Malaysia soon.
