Description

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year of the Horse is the 2026 Lunar New Year limited edition — the standard ultra-premium Blue Label blend in a collector bottle designed by Hong Kong-born, London-based haute couturier Robert Wun, celebrating the Horse’s symbolism of strength, resilience, and forward momentum.

For the 2026 Lunar New Year, Johnnie Walker partnered with Robert Wun, who reimagined the bottle and box with sculptural lines and flowing forms depicting the horse galloping toward a new future. The release is part of Johnnie Walker’s long-running annual Chinese Zodiac series and is aimed at both established Blue Label collectors and luxury buyers drawn to contemporary design.

The liquid is the classic Johnnie Walker Blue Label blend — built from rare malt and grain whiskies, with only around one in ten thousand casks meeting the standard for inclusion, including irreplaceable stock from now-silent distilleries. It carries no age statement but draws on rare aged whiskies from across Scotland.

Tasting Notes
