Johnnie Walker’s Blue Label Lunar New Year bottle has been debuted by the spirit brand with an icy, eye-catching design that showcases the design work of haute couturier Robert Wun. The partnership with Wun sees the bottle and the box emblazoned with the imagery of a horse and as well as visual nods to the brand as a way to mark the Year of the Horse. The limited-edition bottle is available at select retailers around the world with a $228 price point for consumers to pick up for themselves or as a new year offering for someone.
Global Head of Luxury Innovation Mariana Assis spoke on Johnnie Walker’s Blue Label Lunar New Year bottle saying, "Robert’s vision for the Year of the Horse defines both this Lunar New Year and our own more than 200-year journey. Together, we’ve created something that celebrates heritage while inspiring new possibilities."
