Chivas Regal is the Official Whisky Partner of Arsenal and in collaboration with London pie maker Willy's Pies, the blended scotch brand created whisky-infused pies to serve at the Arsenal Football Club for the last home game of the season. The savory pie features Chivas Regal’s signature blended 12-year-old Scotch whisky, plus slow-braised beef brisket, caramelized shallots (deglazed in Chivas Regal,) Isle of Mull cheddar, and gravy, all tucked into a signature buttery puff pastry and topped with gold dust.
Beyond the stadium, the Chivas Regal-infused pie will be available after gameday online via Willy's Pies for a limited time—and all proceeds will be reinvested into the community.
Alongside this launch, a Pies and Punchlines content series featuring comedian Mo Gilligan will share pie-related humor and playful football banter.
