The film moves through historical black and white imagery to the colour of the present day where Master Blender Colin Scott whose passion re created the legacy of Chivas Regal 25 Year Old for it’s relaunch in 2007. Executive Creative Director, Mick Mahoney says; “This film was a labour of love. It took 8 painstaking months to produce, and really does do justice to quality and craftsmanship of the whisky itself.”Film Club Productions created the film and manipulated archive Getty images in After Effects to create the 3D style imagery which pulls people into the story of Chivas Regal 25 Year Old.
