If you’re a scotch lover with a penchant for bold, innovative fashion that pushes the envelope, then this Chivas XV partnership with Balmain is for you. The two brands have released an exclusive, limited-edition Balmain x Chivas XV collection with two limited-edition bottle designs, developed by Chivas with Balmain’s creative director, Olivier Rousteing.

“Just like Balmain, Chivas has always adhered to the highest standards with neither house being afraid to push boundaries and break with outdated conventions,” Rousteing explains in a press statement. “Those already familiar with the Balmain universe will note that this unique collaboration includes a signature motif of the house—the oversized golden chain. Whenever I’ve included that eye-catching adornment in my collections, it has served as a bold symbol of the defiant spirit of our rebellious and inclusive Balmain Army – a bold and audacious attitude that both Chivas and Balmain celebrate.”

Besides the exclusive bottles, Chivas also brings an unexpected element to its scotch by selectively finishing its aged whisky in Cognac casks.
The First Drop is extremely limited featuring individually numbered gold bottles decorated with metallic armour and chains as seen on Balmain’s signature runway pieces. The Second Drop, on the other hand, spotlights Balmain’s signature silhouette — a symmetrical design of chains and belts inspired by the fashion house’s recent offerings.
