Luxury Scotch whisky, Chivas Regal, has announced Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc as its 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 Leclerc 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 Leclerc’ passion points off the racetrack, with the first being music.
As a talented and self-taught pianist and composer, Leclerc has been sharing his love of music with fans over the past few years that has seen him release multiple tracks. The time, precision and passion he puts into mastering the notes on a piano is reflective of the craftmanship required to blend the notes of an iconic whisky.
To celebrate this blending of success, Leclerc and Chivas Regal are hosting an exclusive, one-night-only pop-up piano bar which 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.
Those heading to Leclerc’s will have the opportunity to experience a new side of the racing ace as they explore the fusion and notes of whisky and music like never before, in an evening that celebrates the artistry of piano and the craft of whisky.
Nick Blacknell, Global Marketing director, for Chivas Regal, at Chivas Brothers says: “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.”
Leclerc added, “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.”
This marks the start of a collaborative partnership between Leclerc and Chivas Regal, with further “moments of celebration” to come.
