"Whisky has always carried a sense of permanence - golden amber in color, heavy with heritage, and consumed in ways passed down through centuries. Chivas Regal, however, is rewriting the rules with its most radical release to date: Crystalgold. The crystal-clear spirit is created from matured Scotch whisky but stripped of its defining hue through a meticulous filtration process. The result is a liquid that challenges how whisky is seen, served, and experienced."
"At its core, Crystalgold is whisky - aged in oak casks, developed with the craftsmanship of Chivas Regal's master blender Sandy Hyslop, and brimming with notes of vanilla, citrus, apple, and subtle spice. Yet, through an innovative carbon filtration process, its amber hue is completely removed. What emerges is a spirit that looks like vodka, but still carries the richness and depth of oak-aged Scotch."
Crystalgold is a crystal-clear spirit created from matured Scotch whisky that has had its amber color removed through meticulous carbon filtration. The liquid retains oak-aged flavors including vanilla, citrus, apple, and subtle spice while appearing like vodka. Regulatory definitions prevent it from being labeled Scotch, so it bears the tag "spirit drink" despite its whisky heritage. The release was unveiled during the Singapore Grand Prix and is aimed at earlier evening drinking occasions often dominated by gin, tequila, and sparkling cocktails. Charles Leclerc collaborated on the Leclerc Spritz to showcase Crystalgold's lighter profile and cocktail versatility.
