LOVE creative agency in collaboration with the Singpore-based interior designers Asylum have brilliantly constructed the [Johnnie Walker House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-whisky-blends) in Shanghai, China.

The new space is a four-story house that highlights the history of the infamous Whiskey powerhouse as well as a journey of discovery for its consumers. Interior elements consist of materials used in the whiskey-making process in order to stimulate an interactive experience for guests. A copper sculpture of the distillery process in the building also adds a rustic look to the modern abode.

In addition to the imaginative design of the Johnnie Walker House, LOVE has also created a set of [limited-edition, Chinese-inspired porcelain whiskey bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-whisky-packaging). These blue and white patterned bottles commemorate Johnnie Walker's legendary quest from Scotland to China over a hundred years ago.

Avid whiskey drinkers will undoubtedly swarm for a visit to Mr.Walker's [Oriental Whiskey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mandarin-oriental-costa-navarino) Fortress.
