Whisky Focus - Chivas Regal 12 Year Old Gets A New Look

Chivas Regal 12 gets a contemporary new look.

Chivas Regal have unveiled a new contemporary look for their Chivas Regal 12 year old bottling, the whisky inside the bottle is still the same classic blend we are familiar with.

The new Chivas Regal 12 Year Old bottle retains its round generous shape for which it is renowned, while its shoulders have been raised higher. The brand signifier, is now included as a more prominent, organic feature of the bottle, and the signatures of founders James and John Chivas have been added to the glass. The label has evolved to present a simplified and more vibrant look.

The outer carton has been re-designed retaining the icons that hold depth of meaning and provenance to Chivas’ rich heritage, and select areas have been embossed and debossed to add a texturalised element to the packaging.

International Brand Director for Chivas Regal, Richard Black says: "The new design successfully demonstrates Chivas Regal’s ability to carry forward years of brand heritage and craftsmanship in a way that is appealing to modern whisky drinkers. For many, Chivas Regal 12 Year Old acts as an entry point to the brand so it is a tremendous opportunity for us to grab their attention. We have conducted extensive consumer research and are excited to present a new modern look while maintaining our craftsmanship and timeless luxury values."

The new bottle and outer pack will start appearing on shelves from September 2015.
