For this year's Johnnie Walker Blue Label Lunar New Year Limited Edition Design, Johnnie Walker has partnered with rising star of the fashion industry, Shanghai-based designer Angel Chen.
This year's vibrant design for the Year of the Rabbit is a dynamic, modern interpretation of 2023’s Zodiac animal, the sprightly rabbit. Symbolising mercy, elegance and beauty, the rabbit signifies longevity in traditional Asian culture and prancing rabbits are captured bounding amongst mountainous peaks. The design highlights longevity in the body of mountains whereas the clouds depict the greater heights its recipient may reach in the birth of the New Year.
Johnnie Walker Blue Label is made using some of the rarest whiskies from the Johnnie Walker reserves of maturing Scotch, Blue Label includes unparalleled casks sourced from long-closed ‘ghost’ distilleries.
Tasting Notes
NOSE
Take in the wonderfully mellow, rounded nose – replete with dry smokiness artfully mixed with the sweetness of raisins.
PALATE
Serving a velvety combination of vanilla, honey and rose petals – before broadening out to include a zesty orange flavour with notes of hazelnut, sherry and dark chocolate.
FINISH
Signing off with a rich and luxuriously long finish, which showcases Johnnie Walker's trademark smokiness in the most sophisticated way.
