Remember the inaugural Chivas 'I Rise, We Rise' movement last year?

Well, they're making a comeback that's even bigger and better this October!

Following the success of last year's event, Chivas promises that this year's party will be even more spectacular, filled with whisky cocktails, music, neon lights, striking LED visuals, and most importantly, partying! 

Happening for one night only on 21 October at the Mines International Exhibition & Convention Centre (MIECC), you definitely don't want to miss this year's Chivas 'I Rise, We Rise' edition. 

With the introduction of the Chivas 'I Rise, We Rise' movement last year, Chivas aims to continue inspiring a new generation of Scotch whisky drinkers thirsty for new experiences

The 'I Rise, We Rise' campaign was created for a new generation that enjoys hustling – a generation that forges their own paths and elevates themselves as well as others around them.

The global movement spotlights personalities and brands that resonate with the philosophy of success as a community, as well as the spirit of collaboration and conviviality.

That's why this year, Chivas is joining forces with local and international talents from different backgrounds and industries to share their passion and hustle stories of how their teams or partners are the driving force behind their success.

Here's a sneak peek at what you can expect from this year's event:

1. Chivas is setting street culture as this year's fashion theme

Street fashion has become synonymous with freedom of expression, so much so that it has evolved beyond just a trend and become a culture of its own. 

Chivas is more than aware of this, and that's why they're collaborating with three icons from the local street fashion scene, Deckson of TNTCO, as well as Hamwiches Fashion Group's partners, Will Lim of DoubleBack and Yung Kai of Zero Degrees. 

The creative trio are working closely with Chivas to drop a line of limited-edition merchandise at the upcoming Chivas 'I Rise We Rise' event. With such an iconic collaboration, you'll definitely want to get your hands on the exclusive clothing items. 

2. Enjoy crafted cocktails by Penrose, one of Asia's 50 best bars

You can expect the Chivas 'I Rise, We Rise' event to turn out as a high-spirited affair, thanks to Penrose KL.

Fresh from being ranked as one of Asia's 50 Best Bars this year — within one year of operation — Penrose KL's success is credited to the camaraderie and vision of a talented team of bartenders passionate about mixology.

Helmed by Jon Lee and his dream team of bartenders – Maria and Lai – Penrose KL will be taking the spotlight at the party, bringing the expertly crafted cocktails they're known for to the big stage.

3. Party along to renowned international and local headliners

In true Chivas fashion, the 'I Rise, We Rise' event promises a party to remember with a stellar lineup of both local and international artists.

From local powerhouse acts like DJ JenniF, Joleen, Valent, BATE, and Blink, to international headliners like Rave Republic and the legendary Dash Berlin, this one-night-only party is unlike any other. 

And that's not all, you can also expect a special curated performance from other popular local talents for a spectacular time.
