Johnnie Walker
Blue LabelBlue Label is the ultimate blend of extremely rare and precious whiskies, with only one cask in ten thousand reaching the pinnacle of maturation. It is named after the color blue, which symbolizes mystery, rarity, and nobility. The taste is rich, full-bodied, and slightly smoky.

Blue Label UltraOnly 888 bottles were produced worldwide, with only a few arriving in Japan. The blend includes selected malt whiskies from distilleries such as Oban, Blair Athol, and Royal Lochnagar, as well as numerous “ghost whiskies” from closed distilleries.

Johnnie Walker
Blue Label Umami“Umami” is one of the most difficult taste expressions to define even in the world, and it was the inspiration for this limited edition bottle. It was born from the collaboration between our master blender, Emma Walker, and the world-renowned Japanese chef Kei Kobayashi, who carefully selected unique umami-rich casks.
-

This rare whiskey was crafted using only the original stock from distilleries that were operational during King George V's reign, making it a truly unique and exquisite blend.
