A select group of Hong Kong premium Scotch whisky aficionados were enthralled in their intimate sensorial discovery of Chivas Regal The Icon, the newest ultra-prestige whisky from the maker of the world’s first luxury whisky.

A four-day experiential event immersed selected VIPs in the palpable luxury and exclusivity at The House of Chivas Regal at Foxglove in early December. In a setting evoking a cross between 1950s’ speakeasy and contemporary gentleman’s club, the VIPs savoured the distinctive smoothness of Chivas Regal The Icon, while basking in the craft, luxury, and artistry embodied by Chivas Regal’s heritage and history.

On December 1, VIPs were greeted by attentive butlers and then escorted into the House of Chivas Regal. Their discovery journey began as each received a personalised key before being shown into the library where they enjoyed an amuse bouche cocktail while exploring the design evolution of the Chivas Regal bottle from 1920 to 2015.

What awaited the guests at the salon further elevated the feel of opulence. The butlers presented the guests with a visual presentation of three expertly selected cocktail flavour profiles: passion fruit; raspberry; and ginger. Guests’ flavour selections were then turned into one of a series of cocktails called The Artist Special, The Starboard Light and The Penicillin, all with the highlights of the Chivas Regal range. The evening’s first climax was the customisation of each guest’s experience at The House of Chivas: each guest used his/ her personalised key to uncover carefully selected accompaniments for their chosen cocktails.

The fabulous cocktails mellowed the guests’ mood for the majestic glory unique to the finest whisky – Chivas Regal The Icon. VIPs were invited to the drawing room to witness the Hong Kong debut of the magnificent Chivas Regal The Icon which radiated splendour in its Dartington crystal decanter. The exclusive viewing was followed by a sumptuous meal.
