The 2023 Lunar New Year edition of Johnnie Walker Blue Label celebrates the Year of the Rabbit in collaboration with Angel Chen — the Chinese fashion designer taking the global fashion world by storm. The Rabbit symbolizes mercy, elegance, beauty, and longevity in traditional Asian culture, and as an echo of the Johnnie Walker motto Keep Walking, Chen depicts prancing rabbits bounding amongst mountainous peaks in a vivid, modern interpretation layered with her signature bold color and painterly abstraction. Each bottle is individually numbered. No longer in production — sold out at global retail. The liquid inside is the same exceptional Johnnie Walker Blue Label: 1 in 10,000 casks selected from the Johnnie Walker reserves including irreplaceable ghost distillery stocks, blended by Master Blender Emma Walker. Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof).

Tasting Notes
Color: Deep amber gold
Nose: Waves of spice give way to vanilla and honey, with dried fruit, hazelnut, and a lingering woody depth from the ghost distillery casks.
Palate: Caramel and hazelnuts over dark chocolate — velvety, smooth, and perfectly balanced. The 46% ABV brings added depth and presence compared to the standard Blue Label.
Finish: Long and luxurious — rich fruit, gentle smoke, and quiet warmth.
