Celebrate Lunar New Year With This Johnnie Walker Blue Label Limited-edition Design For The Year Of The Horse

Johnnie Walker’s exquisite Blue Label Year of The Horse Limited-Edition Bottle Design is a result of a collaboration with Hong Kong-born, London-based fashion designer Robert Wun.

The partnership brings together two worlds of craftsmanship – Scotch Whisky and haute couture – to embody the ongoing commitment of Johnnie Walker to collaborate with visionary cultural voices known for pushing boundaries and redefining modern luxury.

ROBERT WUN'S VISION FOR THE YEAR OF THE HORSE

GO BEHIND THE SCENES WITH JOHNNIE WALKER

Robert Wun with curly hair, wearing a dark shirt, looks downward while standing indoors near a partially visible mirror. The background is softly lit with natural light from windows.

"I think there's beauty in everything, if you put your heart, your soul and your craftsmanship and commitment into it. Being able to work with Johnnie Walker - a brand with such legacy and a strong identity - has been incredibly rewarding.
Pushing boundaries is integral to storytelling, and that's how I approach my work: How can I go further?"

ABOUT ROBERT WUN

Known for his surrealist designs, bold silhouettes, and an innovative approach to haute couture, Wun has created a truly special bottle design for Lunar New Year.

Wun demonstrates modern artistry and luxury craftsmanship in his work, which he has translated into this limited-edition design. The bold expression pays tribute to the spirit of the horse and shows the horse charging forward with optimism for the future.

ABOUT THE COLLABORATION

Inspired by the horse’s auspicious spirit and the layered flavours of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Wun’s limited-edition design reimagines Lunar New Year with a modern lens: a tribute to artistry and the pioneering craft of rare whisky making. The haute couturier was chosen for his bold, avant-garde vision and deep cultural relevance, and this limited edition speaks to both established Blue Label collectors and a new generation of luxury consumers drawn to contemporary cultural expression.

INSIDE THE BOTTLE

Inside each bottle is the truly rare and exceptional Johnnie Walker Blue Label, crafted from some of the rarest whiskies in the brand’s unparalleled reserves. Only one in 10,000 casks makes the cut. Best enjoyed neat or with a sip of iced water to open its layered notes of rich spice, vanilla, honey, caramel, hazelnut, dark chocolate, and a luxuriously long, smoky finish, Blue Label is the perfect serve to mark the celebration of renewal, which Lunar New Year represents.

Wun has also created a striking Year of the Horse Limited Edition for John Walker & Sons XR 21 Year Old. Crafted from whiskies aged for at least 21 years using a rare three-stage process, XR21 is smooth and indulgent with layers of honey, spice, tropical fruits, and a warm, lingering finish.
