To kick off 2024 as the Year of the Dragon, Johnnie Walker unveiled a special edition Blue Label bottle desgin in collaboration with Asian-American artist James Jean, and in preparation for the Year of the Snake, a new Lunar New Year Limited Edition was unveiled.
This new bottle design by James Jean takes cues from an animal associated with themes of self-reinvention and renewal—in fact, there are three snakes to represent wisdom, intelligence and intuition, and values held dear by the whisky brand.
Johnnie Walker Lunar New Year Limited Edition Designs are available in selected markets globally. Ready for holiday gifting and savoring throughout 2025, the annual Lunar New Year Blue Label bottle is as much future-facing as it is a celebration of some of the rarest whiskies from the Johnnie Walker reserves.
