In 2018, Argentina’s whisky scene reached a milestone with Chivas House Buenos Aires, a multisensory experience organized by Chivas Regal Argentina. For two weeks, the exclusive neighborhood of La Recoleta became the epicenter of luxury whisky, innovation, and sustainable art.
At this grand event, which gathered the country’s top whisky enthusiasts, Lanchi and Eli Moreno, founders of the Green Glass project, stood out with their art and commitment to recycling glass bottles.
A Luxurious Setting for Chivas Regal XV and Mizunara
The 2018 edition showcased two jewels of the Chivas Regal family:
- Chivas Regal XV, an elegant and vibrant whisky.
- Chivas Mizunara, aged in rare Japanese Mizunara oak barrels, offering unique complexity.
These complemented the already renowned Chivas Regal 12, 18, ULTIS, and 25 years.
Green Glass and the Sustainable Whisky Revolution
Lanchi and the Recycled Chivas ULTIS Whisky Glass
One of the highlights was the presentation of the recycled glass created by Lanchi from original Chivas Regal ULTIS bottles. Crafted at the Green Glass workshop, this elegant, sustainable piece perfectly captured the event’s spirit. The process was documented in a video showing how each glass was handcrafted from the original bottle:
Eli Moreno: Personalized Artisan Engraving
Eli Moreno personalized glasses and bottles by hand-engraving names and initials of guests purchasing the exclusive pack. Each product became a unique fusion of art, glass, and sensory experience.
This work earned recognition from influencers and celebrities such as Andy Kusnetzoff, Benjamín Vicuña, and Mike Amigorena, all attendees of the event.
Whisky Tastings: An Unforgettable Experience
Guided tastings were a core part of the event. Small groups of up to 30 people sampled five different whiskys and created their own blends using the brand’s single malts.
Luxuriously arranged tasting rooms featured expert mentors including:
- Martín Bruno, International Sommelier
- Nathan Woods, Global Ambassador of Chivas
- Alfonso Escardó, Latin American Tasting Expert
The Gift Shop: Personalization and Collecting
After the tour, visitors accessed the official Gift Shop to buy exclusive products. The star was the personalized Chivas ULTIS bottle by Eli, paired with Lanchi’s whisky glass—a true symbol of luxury meeting ecological consciousness.
Whisky, Art & Sustainability in a Unique Experience
Chivas House Buenos Aires proved whisky can be more than a drink—it can be art, culture, innovation, and sustainability. Green Glass’s contribution marked a turning point in Argentina’s whisky events, combining conscious design, noble material reuse, and artisan personalization.
This event brought luxury whisky closer to Argentinians and opened doors to more human, sustainable, and artistic whisky experiences.
