What makes a modern gentleman? That’s what Chivas 18 sets out to do with its latest campaign, Modern Gentleman Travels. In the new campaign, a series of vignettes to be aired on the History Channel, Chivas 18 handpicks three men and documents their life-altering voyages to different locales around the globe.
