Over the last 2 years, I’ve definitely developed a taste for Scotch.  Maybe I’m getting old, but I find myself sipping on a scotch rocks, more and more when I’m out.  I’m not a connoisseur, but I have grown to appreciate single malts.  

When Chivas Regal‘s marketing team contacted us about Ampal being involved in a party for the rerelease of their Chivas 18 yr Gold Signature scotch it didn’t take long to respond.   I guess they thought their scotch went well with “distinguished headwear for gentlemen of leisure.”  On 12/13/07 Chivas threw a great event at their pop-up “Chivas Studio” on Wilshire.

This is the delicious Chivas Regal 18 year old Gold Signature Scotch.  It is delicious.  It was exceptionally smooth and too damn tasty to drink just one…

Thank you for keeping our glasses full.

So Giovanni’s official job title is Chivas Ambassador.  Apparently after a rigorous interview process, which included a long week of partying in Vegas, with daily early morning interviews, he and his female cohort got their dream job of a paid year long party.  I think its like drinking boot camp, you gotta be able to party all night and then be fresh to promote the brand in the morning. 

I had to bring Henrik, who’s been known to like whiskey of the scotch variety, plus he’s like a walking pedestal for our hats.  Jacob un/fortunately doesn’t appreciate the brown elixir yet.

Next time you got a little extra cash treat yourself to a bottle of the golden elixir, and enjoy a sipper on the rocks before you go out.  Its about the same $ as Johnny Green and you won’t be disappointed.
