BLACKPINK’s LISA announced that she had been recruited as an ambassador for the Chivas brand in April, and since then, the singer has gone on to launch a new version of the brand’s ‘Chivas 18,’ a bottle that debuted in the same year she was born.
The whiskey features the brand’s signature design with hits of blue and pink, along with LISA’s signature in a neon font. The bottle features a detachable 18-karat gold plated logo charm for fans of LISA to keep, while the box adopts her signature star design. Along with the limited-edition bottle, Chivas has produced a cocktail mix called ‘Pink Spice’ in collaboration with the singer. The new drink is inspired by LISA's Asian roots, with tea, lemon, and spice flavoring.
The LISA x Chivas whisky bottle debuts on Nov 1, 2022 via Chivas’ website.
