Luxury Scotch whisky brand Chivas Regal today announces the global launch of its groundbreaking spirit innovation, Chivas Regal Crystalgold — defying what you think you know about its world-renowned range.

A Pioneering New Spirit

Crafted from a bespoke blend and refined through a pioneering filtration process, Chivas Regal Crystalgold showcases technical excellence, delivering remarkable smoothness and transparency while preserving the depth of character and craft associated with the Chivas Regal signature style.

Pairing the mixability and versatility of a clear spirit with the depth of flavour and craftsmanship of a dark, oak-aged spirit, Chivas Regal Crystalgold offers an elevated alternative to traditional clear spirits, perfect for those sundowner moments that call for something fresher and more sophisticated in taste. Where clarity, versatility, and craft converge in one groundbreaking spirit, it can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail for a truly distinctive, ultra-smooth drinking experience.

“We’ve always believed that innovation should enhance tradition, not erase it, and Chivas Regal Crystalgold is the epitome of that. It pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in blending,” said Sandy Hyslop, Master Blender, Chivas Regal. “Through years of experimentation, we have perfected a filtration process that removes colour while retaining flavour for a truly unique drinking experience. Our goal with Chivas Regal Crystalgold wasn’t just to innovate — it was to preserve everything people love about an oak-aged spirit, while presenting it in a way you’ve never seen from us before. The clarity is striking, but the flavour is unmistakably ours.”

Charles Leclerc: The Strategic Mind Behind the Launch

At the heart of this launch is Chivas Regal Global Brand Ambassador and F1 driver Charles Leclerc, whose innovative mindset and pursuit of excellence mirror the ethos behind Chivas Regal Crystalgold. Known for his precision across all disciplines — including his off-track passion for chess — Leclerc embodies the ability to stay multiple moves ahead, a quality that also defines the meticulous art of spirit blending and innovation. Just as Chivas Regal Crystalgold offers a fresh perspective on tradition, Leclerc brings a sharp, modern lens to a world shaped by legacy and precision.

“Since partnering with Chivas Regal, I’ve been inspired by its unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and ability to balance heritage with innovation,” said Charles Leclerc. “That philosophy deeply resonates with me — it mirrors the way I approach both my career and off-track passions, like chess, where strategy and precision are everything. Chivas Regal Crystalgold is the embodiment of that spirit. It’s about pushing boundaries while staying true to your roots.”

The Leclerc Spritz

To celebrate the launch, Charles Leclerc and Chivas Regal have together created the Leclerc Spritz. Comprising a blend of citrus, elderflower, and mint, elevated with champagne and Chivas Regal Crystalgold, it’s a modern twist on a timeless favourite — a bold innovation just like Chivas Regal Crystalgold itself.

“With 75% of consumers seeking spirits suited to afternoon-to-evening occasions, Chivas Regal Crystalgold meets a growing demand for spirits that are lighter and more versatile, while filling a unique space in our brand portfolio,” said Nick Blacknell, Marketing Director, Chivas Regal. “We’ve created a product that allows both existing and new generations of drinkers to experience a new type of spirit made by Chivas Regal. It’s a breakthrough in filtration and taste — but more than that, it’s a statement of who we are: bold, strategic, and ahead of the curve.”

Chivas Regal Crystalgold is available on Amazon UK at an RRP of £51.00.
