As a global brand ambassador for Chivas Regal, Bardem’s experience in Scotland was captured on film and will be shared on the Chivas Regal social media channels later this year.

He was pictured exploring the Strathisla Distillery – the oldest working distillery in the Scottish Highlands, and source of the single malt that can be found at the heart of each and every Chivas Regal blend – with Chivas Regal master blender, Colin Scott. During the visit, Chivas Regal’s director of blending, Sandy Hyslop, presented the actor with his own exclusive blend of Chivas Regal Ultis.

Bardem is a Spanish actor, best known for his role as the psychopathic assassin Anton Chigurhin the 2007 Coen brothers film No Country for Old Men, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He also starred as Bond villain Raoul Silva in the 2012’s Skyfall, for which he received a BAFTA and a SAG nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Bardem features in the latest instalment of the global Chivas Regal ‘Win the Right Way’ advertising campaign, which aims to demonstrate the “power and impact of working together to achieve success”.

Through his work with Chivas Regal, Javier aims to reinforce this belief, and inspire a new generation to succeed while making a positive impact on the lives of others.
