Featuring Zodiac and Calligraphy, the Crystallization of Asian Spirit and Art
Since its inception in 1820, Johnnie Walker has continued to create the highest quality whiskies as a standard-bearer for luxury whisky. Among them, Blue Label is the ultimate blend, using only exceptionally rare casks, said to be one in ten thousand.
Following the "Year of the Horse" in 2014, the "Year of the Ram" features a design that combines calligraphy of the Kanji character for 'sheep' and a drawing of a sheep on a celadon-like bottle. It is said to express the solitary spirit, strength, and elegance of the ram.
The dedicated gift box is also adorned with similar calligraphy in gold leaf. Furthermore, the alcohol content is a higher 43% ABV compared to the standard Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
This limited edition, with its meticulous attention to detail, is perfect as a gift or collector's item.
