Long Description
This exclusive release marks the first Chivas Regal 16 Year Old expression inspired by Charles Leclerc and his iconic racing number 16—a symbol of his personal journey, achievements, and defining moments. Developed in close collaboration with Leclerc, this limited-edition blend pays tribute to ambition, precision, and the spirit of excellence.
Crafted from a selection of Chivas Regal’s finest Scotch whiskies, the blend highlights the signature character of Longmorn malt, matured in first-fill sherry casks. The result is a sophisticated and harmonious whisky, with layers of richness and depth. Each element of the flavor profile was carefully selected and refined by Leclerc alongside Master Blender Sandy Hyslop, delivering a whisky that is both luxurious and expressive—rich, velvety, and delicately spiced.
