Chivas Regal 18 Year Old and Pininfarina have come together for the first time to create a series of limited
editions: Chivas 18 by Pininfarina.
The aerodynamic, limited edition design ‘The Drop’ is inspired by air and liquid.
Both Chivas and Pininfarina share a rich heritage in crafting, rewarding and stimulating experiences in luxury.
Pininfarina has been a crusader in Italian design and engineering since 1930, whilst Chivas Regal is the original
luxury whisky blend, established in 1801.
"Italian style means a sense of proportion, simplicity and harmony of line and we applied this sensibility to the designs we developed for Chivas 18.” Chairman of Pininfarina, Paolo Pininfarina.
There are three expressions of Chivas 18 by Pininfarina, including:
Limited Edition 1 - £105
The first expression is based on a streamlined drop, giving a sense of
movement that is inherent to Pininfarina. A rich blue, metallic outer case, is
reminiscent of the Italian company’s iconic metalwork, while the wood
veneer represents the oak barrels so crucial in the ageing process of Chivas
18.
The second expression of the partnership takes classic Pininfarina design cues
further, featuring a solid wood inlay and aerodynamic lines. Proudly
presenting the limited edition bottle, the limited edition also includes two
glasses which echo the drop design – an exclusive creation for Chivas 18,
designed by Pininfarina. Each unit is individually numbered, to highlight its
limited edition status.
Inspired by the mascherone, the original wooden frame that was used to
refine new automobile shapes, the Chivas 18 Mascherone by Pininfarina
marks the pinnacle of the partnership. Hand assembled in Cambiano by
Pininfarina, it features an oak internal structure, clad in aluminium. Mirroring
the elegant precision of Pininfarina's celebrated automotive innovations, only
five of this collector's piece will be on display globally and individual pieces
will be made to order on request. A light at the base of the Mascherone
brings this artistic piece to life.
“The partnership celebrates the synergies between heritage, luxury and style. Chivas Regal understands design and has a history of working with iconic visionaries in this field. Together with Pininfarina, we have produced a range that reflects the luxury and quality credentials of both partners and celebrates the beauty of deluxe design. The limited edition range will appeal to those with an appreciation for craftsmanship, history and elegance.” Patrick Venning, Marketing Director at Pernod Ricard UK.
