Abuja, Nigeria – At The Chivas Palace on Saturday, July 12th, 2025, Chivas Regal, the iconic Blended Scotch whisky, unveiled the newly redesigned Chivas 18 bottle in grand style, a striking symbol of bold evolution for a new generation of whisky enthusiasts. Set against the elegant backdrop of The Chivas Palace experience, the bottle unveiling was the high point of an evening centered on ambition, progress, and shared success. Chivas 18’s relaunch represented more than just a visual refresh; it also reaffirmed Chivas’ relevance in today’s dynamic culture.
The redesigned bottle has a more sleek, confident silhouette, updated typography, and richer colour tones, all while preserving the iconic blend inside. With 85 flavor notes ranging from dark chocolate to dried fruit and buttery toffee, Chivas 18 is still one of the world’s most complex and revered blends.
During the unveiling, Evane Chenuet, Marketing Director at Pernod Ricard Nigeria, addressed the guests, “In today’s world, where all the rules are changing, we need to be bold, innovative, and intentional.” And tonight is for all of you, our community, as we forge new paths to success together. This is Chivas’ new expression. The same world-class blend, but packaged in a bottle that reflects our current values: modern luxury, inclusivity, and earned elevation. Because at Chivas, we believe that “I rise, we rise.”
When the bottle was revealed, guests were drawn in by the brand storytelling that had been layered throughout the venue – from a historical “Chivas Wall” that traced the journey from the Chivas Brothers Emporium in Aberdeen (est. 1801) to the royal warrant awarded by Queen Victoria in 1843, to the global legacy that now places Chivas Regal in the hands of visionaries all over the world.
The new Chivas 18 is now available for purchase at select retailers and premium outlets in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and other cities across Nigeria.
Whether served neat, on the rocks, or in one of Chivas’ signature cocktails, the Chivas 18 bottle represents refined ambition – bold in taste, elegant in form, and timeless in meaning.
