Chivas Regal Crystalgold x Charles Leclerc

Leclerc is very much the face and heart of Chivas Regal Crystalgold, his first official endorsement since partnering with the storied whiskymaker earlier this March. Known for his fierce precision and pursuit of excellence, the young Mon&eacute;gasque understands what it takes to stay ahead of the game. &ldquo;As a person, but also as a sportsman and driver, you have to play to your own strengths,&rdquo; he reflects. &ldquo;For Chivas Regal, that means sticking to their heritage &mdash; what makes them special and what has defined them through all these years of history.&rdquo;&nbsp;
He adds: &ldquo;But it&rsquo;s not enough to be satisfied with where you are. If you want to keep moving forward and achieve great things, you&rsquo;ve got to push the limits and innovate, while still staying true to yourself.&rdquo; That&rsquo;s exactly what Master Blender Sandy Hyslop did with Chivas Regal Crystalgold, using a groundbreaking filtration process to remove the signature golden colouration of their oak-aged Scottish whisky for striking transparency. The result is an unprecedented look that retains an unmistakably familiar flavour with sweet apple pie, butterscotch fudge and zesty orange notes.

Clarity is the crux of Chivas Regal Crystalgold. So we felt it pertinent to ask Leclerc when he last felt crystal clear in his life. &ldquo;I remember the first time I went karting, and on the way back I told my father that it was what I wanted to do when I was older. It was completely obvious from the start that racing was my life.&rdquo; Chivas Regal Crystalgold also reveals an unexpected side of the premium blended Scotch whisky brand, and through this collaboration, we&rsquo;ve seen different facets of Leclerc beyond his most famous image as a suave F1 racer: first as a self-taught pianist and composer, and now as an avid chess enthusiast, a passion that started with his grandfather. &ldquo;I would watch him play when I was five or six, and I absolutely fell in love with the strategy, thinking multiple steps ahead and trying to surprise the opponent. I&rsquo;ve always been super competitive, so that&rsquo;s what I enjoy about this fascinating game.&rdquo;
All that&rsquo;s to say, Leclerc really is the perfect man to embody Chivas Regal Crystalgold. He&rsquo;s even concocted a signature serve in its honour: the Leclerc Spritz, a fresh and bubbly cocktail with elderflower, lime, mint, Champagne and heaps of ice. It&rsquo;s a stylish sundowner that reflects his elegant Mon&eacute;gasque heritage, a luxurious libation through and through. &ldquo;For me, luxury is something that feels unique, where you can really feel the amount of work that has been put into it. That human sensibility behind the craft is what makes something stands apart, and you definitely feel it when you drink Chivas Regal Crystalgold.&rdquo;
