✨ Tekniske specifikationer
An extraordinary collaboration between Johnnie Walker Master Blender Emma Walker and the three-Michelin-starred Chef Kei Kobayashi, the Blue Label Elusive Umami is a groundbreaking release that pushes the boundaries of blended Scotch whisky. Seeking to capture the enigmatic 'fifth taste,' Walker and Kobayashi selected only one in 25,000 casks from the vast Johnnie Walker reserves, targeting whiskies that exhibited a perfect balance of savory and sweet. This expression marries the traditional craftsmanship of Scottish distillation with the culinary artistry of Japanese-inspired gastronomy. The resulting blend offers a complex sensory journey, weaving together notes of rich woodsmoke, soy sauce, salted caramel, and ripe red berries, paying homage to the historic legacy of the Walker family's blending pioneering spirit dating back to 1820.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Historien om Johnnie Walker begyndte i 1820, da John Walker startede med at blende whisky i sin købmandsbutik i Kilmarnock. Siden da har mærket udviklet sig til verdens mest udbredte og berømte skotske whiskybrand. Huset, som i dag ejes af Diageo, forener enestående single malt- og grain-whiskyer fra alle fire hjørner af Skotland for at skabe en uovertruffen kompleksitet og balance. Med afsæt i århundreders blending-ekspertise står Johnnie Walker bag ikoniske nyskabelser som den firkantede flaske og den karakteristiske skrå etiket, foruden den berømte farvekodede serie, der spænder fra den røgede, fyldige Black Label til den eksklusive og sjældne Blue Label.
