The unique world of our brands

Chivas Regal

In November, Chivas brought one of the biggest names in K-Pop to the metaverse to celebrate the launch of the Chivas 18 x LISA limited edition bottle. Dubbed Regal Planet, the event was Chivas’ first entry into the metaverse and boasted an immersive, virtual experience featuring LISA herself.

Starting in the ‘Rise Up’ welcome lobby, Chivas and LISA fans could meet other guests before moving forward to the “Hustle Area” where attendees could learn more about Chivas, through 3D bottles which revealed the perfect serves and various cocktail recipes. For guests in China and Malaysia, a virtual vending machine was available where fans could purchase select Chivas expressions through direct ecommerce links. The exclusive event ended at the “Regal Stage” where a virtual LISA appeared to host a Q&A and cocktail making session for fans. The finale saw a glittering fireworks display, while some lucky guests were even able to take a virtual selfie with LISA.

The event was initially live and ticketed for metaverse enthusiasts in China, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore and Malaysia. Fans based in other countries were able to stream the broadcast through the Chivas Regal Instagram and YouTube channels.

LISA and Chivas are a perfect match - and using the metaverse really resonated with a younger generation of fans eager to experience the brand’s qualities for themselves.”
