Chivas Regal welcomes Charles Leclerc as Global Brand Ambassador with an exclusive pop-up piano bar ahead of the first Grand Prix of the season, with an appearance from the self-taught pianist.
Luxury Scotch whisky, Chivas Regal, has announced leading Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc as its Global Brand Ambassador in a multiyear partnership, highlighting the brand’s growing influence in modern sports culture.
Throughout the collaboration, Chivas Regal and Charles will encourage fans to forge their own paths in redefining success.
The partnership will celebrate the achievement of personal goals and creativity along the way, exploring Charles’ passion points off the racetrack, with the first being music.
Charles Leclerc’s Passion for Music
As a talented and self-taught pianist and composer, Charles has been sharing his love of music with fans over the past few years, releasing multiple tracks.
The time, precision, and passion he puts into mastering the notes on a piano reflect the craftsmanship required to blend the notes of an iconic whisky.
A One-Night-Only Experience: Leclerc’s Pop-Up Piano Bar
To celebrate this blending of success, Charles and Chivas Regal are hosting an exclusive, one-night-only pop-up piano bar that brings together the worlds of music and whisky.
Dubbed Leclerc’s, the bar will open on March 11th in Melbourne, ahead of the 2025 Formula 1 season opener in the city later that week.
The event will give VIP guests and a limited number of lucky fans the chance to enjoy bespoke Chivas Regal x Charles Leclerc whisky cocktails while experiencing a unique evening centred around music, inspired by Leclerc’s passion for the piano.
A special guest appearance by Charles himself will mark the first of many moments he and Chivas Regal will celebrate together.
Those heading to Leclerc’s will have the opportunity to experience a new side of the racing legend as they explore the fusion of whisky and music like never before.
The evening will celebrate the artistry of piano and the craft of whisky, showcasing the parallels between the two worlds.
Nick Blacknell, Global Marketing Director for Chivas Regal at Chivas Brothers, shares:
It’s no secret Charles has had incredible success in his life, but it is his tenacious spirit, commitment to excellence, and off-track passions that inspired this partnership. The 88 notes of the piano draw perfect parallels with the 85 flavour notes of our iconic Chivas 18 Year Old expression, showing how both music and whisky blend passion with precision. We’re excited to bring fans on the journey to celebrate our wins together – the ethos that lies at the heart of Chivas Regal.”
Charles Leclerc, Global Brand Ambassador at Chivas Regal, adds:
“Success is about blending all the right notes – on and off the track. My craft demands time, precision, and dedication, but what truly drives me is the journey, my passions, and the moments shared along the way. Chivas Regal embodies this same ethos, encouraging people to find their own rhythm and celebrate every win, big or small. I’m excited to redefine success together and share this experience with fans through our partnership.”
