Celebrate Lunar New Year With Johnnie Walker Blue Label

 

LONDON, Jan. 21, 2022   TODAY, Johnnie Walker, the world's number one Scotch whisky¹, launches an exclusive Johnnie Walker Blue Label Lunar New Year limited edition. The stunning 2022 limited edition design created by Chinese artist Shan Jiang celebrates the year of the Tiger.

The intricate illustrations by Shan Jiang are dedicated to the one who never walks alone… to the one whose steps inspire yours. With imagery paying homage to the Tiger as a symbol of strength and progress, and the majestic animal depicted with golden wings, recalling the famous Chinese idiom.

The visuals are completed with the Tiger high amongst the mountain clouds, ascending towards the modern metropolis – a sign of prosperity and progress, signifying good fortune for all in the year to come.

Artist Shan Jiang said: "In the last two years we've triumphed over tremendous challenges. I used that thought to look to the year ahead with positivity and use Chinese mythology and the idea of progress, of always moving forward, to inspire my designs and discover ideas from my culture that resonate with Johnnie Walker.

"That is why I chose the Tiger with wings for Johnnie Walker Blue Label, it's a common Chinese saying. My mother and father immediately came to mind, they have always supported me as an artist no matter how things were going, they gave me great strength to achieve - like the winged Tiger ascending above the mountains to the sky. It gives me energy to think of this and to create something beautiful from this idea."

Shan Jiang's intricate illustration is matched by the rare whiskies and centuries of craft that creates the rich fruity flavours; perfectly balanced smoke found in every bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label.

He said: "I like to think that the thought and time that goes into my designs echo the craft of Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Inside every bottle of Blue Label are rare, handpicked whiskies - each bringing distinctive character. I hope to bring that to my work."

Johnnie Walker Blue Label is a velvety smooth and vibrant Scotch whisky with layers of fruit, spice and long, lingering smokiness. Only 1 in 10,000 casks in our unparalleled reserves of over 10 million maturing Scotch whiskies has the richness and character required to intricately craft Johnnie Walker Blue Label, including some irreplaceable casks from long-closed "ghost" distilleries.

This limited edition design is available in selected markets globally. Johnnie Walker is also launching John Walker & Sons King George V Lunar New Year Limited Edition Design and a John Walker & Sons XR 21 Lunar New Year Limited Edition Design – both beautifully illustrated by Shan Jiang.

Johnnie Walker Launches World's First 'Blue Table' Experience at Taian Table in Shanghai: Savoring the Depth of Blue

SHANGHAI, Jan. 18, 2022 -- Johnnie Walker kicked off the new year in style this month with the launch of the world's first Johnnie Walker 'Blue Table' at Shanghai's Taian Table, a restaurant recently honored with three Michelin stars.

'Blue Table' is an exclusive new concept curated by Johnnie Walker to provide discerning whisky connoisseurs and celebrities with the ultimate sensory experience of the Johnnie Walker Blue Label brand. Taking place over three nights, the event in Shanghai saw VIP guests seated at exquisitely prepared blue tables where tastebuds were treated to a riveting symphony of rarified aromas and complex flavors, revealing layer by layer the hidden depths of Johnny Walker Blue Label.

Presented with an eye for aesthetic detail and intended to create the ultimate fine dining experience, 'Blue Table' unfolded over the course of the evening according to three meticulously-choreographed chapters: 'Depth from Time,' 'Depth from Flavors' and 'Depth from Rarity'. Highlights included Taian Table's chef-owner Stefan Stiller's intriguing and carefully-crafted food pairings alongside Johnnie Walker Blue Label, as well as an elegant and metaphor-infused dance performance evoking the spirit of the Blue Label brand. The final chapter meanwhile revealed the pièce de résistance, a last mystery dish licked by scorching flames paired with a rare and precious sampling from the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare series, a selection of whisky blends from famous but now shuttered distilleries.

The Johnnie Walker Blue Table is a sensory performance like no other, presenting soon-gone-forever flavors from the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost & Rare Series, an exquisitely designed dining table, and unparalleled dishes carefully prepared by chef-owner Stefan Stiller. With his artistic interpretations of 'Depth from Time,' 'Depth from Flavors,' and 'Depth from Rarity', the world's first Johnnie Walker Blue Table in Shanghai proved a massive hit. Looking forward to the grand opening of 'Blue Table' in the next city.

Dewar’s Claims New Honors At International Whisky Awards

DEWAR'S wins Brand Innovator of the year 2022 at Whisky Magazine's Icons of Whisky and Stephanie Macleod maintains the title of Master Blender of the Year at the International Whisky Competition

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Jan. 13, 2022 - DEWAR'S® Scotch Whisky, the world's most awarded blended Scotch whisky is continuing to gain recognition for its consistent innovation in whisky production, a tradition carried forward by Master Blender Stephanie Macleod.

At the 2022 Whisky Magazine's Icons of Whisky and World Whiskies Awards, which took place in Scotland, Dewar's was aptly named Brand Innovator of the year. This annual ceremony takes place to celebrate the best and brightest people and places in the sector – not just the distilleries and the teams that work in them, but also the individuals and businesses that support and promote the category. DEWAR'S has long been a pioneer among whisky brands since its founding in 1846, fostering a unique production process and bringing people together across cultures. In addition to the brand's heritage portfolio, in more recent years, the company has released a new range of eight-year-old cask finished whiskies inclusive of DEWAR'S Ilegal Smooth, DEWAR'S Caribbean Smooth, DEWAR'S Portuguese Smooth, and DEWAR'S Japanese Smooth with more to come.

This honor comes shortly after the successful showing at the 2021 International Whisky Competition (IWC), where DEWAR'S Double Double 32-Year-Old and DEWAR'S Master Blender, Stephanie Macleod both won 'Best Blended Scotch Whisky' and 'Master Blender of The Year' respectively for the third year running. Macleod made history in 2019 as the first woman to win the IWC award. DEWAR'S Double Double 32-Year-Old, known for its rich treacle notes with a silky-smooth finish, received an outstanding score of 95 from the expert panel, including whisky author Sébastien Gavillet and world-renowned mixologist Francesco Lafranconi. DEWAR'S Double Double 32-Year-Old, which is processed using a unique "four-stage aging process" and is finished in Pedro Ximenez Sherry Casks, is part of the innovative DEWAR'S Double Double range conceived by Macleod. This range launched two years ago as an ultra-premium blended scotch series.

"At DEWAR'S we aim to push the boundaries of what is expected from the whisky category and have a long-standing commitment to innovation, so we are delighted with our success in these competitions. These accolades further establish the brand's commitment to premium scotch and reinforce its reputation as the most awarded blended scotch whisky in the world," says Brian Cox, Vice President, DEWAR'S Scotch Whisky, North America.

Commenting on the wins, Stephanie Macleod, Master Blender for DEWAR'S added: "It is an honor to be named Master Blender of the Year in the International Whisky Competition. I accept this award on behalf of the whole team at DEWAR'S, who have shown relentless hard work and dedication, despite the challenges this past year has held. It is incredibly rewarding to see these efforts appreciated, particularly for our innovative production methods across the portfolio."
