The Story
Chivas Regal 16 Year Old x Charles Leclerc is a premium, limited-edition blended Scotch whisky released in early 2025 to celebrate the Formula 1 driver’s role as the brand's Global Brand Ambassador. The "16" in its name specifically honours Leclerc's racing number. Crafted to reflect his personal flavour preferences, the blend features prestigious Longmorn single malt at its heart and includes whiskies matured in sherry casks.
On the nose, it offers a rich and layered bouquet of honey and orchard fruits, followed by notes of dried fruit, vanilla, and a touch of spice. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, showcasing flavours of toffee, baked apple, and caramel, all balanced by gentle oak and soft baking spices. The finish is medium-long and warming, characterized by a lingering sweetness and a creamy texture. This collectible release is marketed as a fusion of racing precision and traditional Scotch craftsmanship.
