Johnny Walker x James Jean

<p>Few things embody sophistication quite like a bottle of <strong>Johnnie Walker Blue Label</strong>. But this year, the world’s most renowned Scotch whisky brand has elevated its signature bottle to an entirely new level. In a collaboration with celebrated artist<strong> James Jean</strong>, Johnnie Walker unveils a stunning limited-edition design to commemorate the Year of the Snake—perhaps the most stylish whisky bottle to date.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:808px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739077867281Screenshot 2025-02-09 at 1.10.41 PM.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Visual Artist James Jean with his Year of the Snake design for Johnnie Walker Blue Label</span></span></span></div><p>Known for his intricate and dreamlike artistry, Jean once again brings his visionary touch to Johnnie Walker Blue Label, marking his second collaboration with the brand for its Lunar New Year series. Inspired by the symbolic wisdom and transformation of the snake, Jean’s design features three serpents intertwining—a poetic representation of past, present, and future, reflecting themes of resilience, renewal, and progress. The bold yet delicate details mirror the craftsmanship behind Blue Label itself, a whisky blended from some of the rarest and most exceptional aged Scotch reserves.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739077899141Snapinst.app_475534276_603700752256120_2177623442343393401_n_1024.jpg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>Jean, whose work is influenced by ancient Chinese scroll paintings, Japanese woodblock prints, and Renaissance portraiture, infuses the design with an artistic duality—respect for tradition while embracing modernity. “We wanted to create a snake that felt different, new, and innovative—honoring the past while looking toward the future with optimism, much like Johnnie Walker itself,” Jean explains.</p><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Beyond its striking appearance, this exclusive bottle is a celebration of the rich complexity that defines Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Crafted from some of the world’s most sought-after whiskies, including rare selections from ‘ghost’ distilleries long since closed, Blue Label offers a deep and layered drinking experience that, like Jean’s artwork, reveals more with every encounter.</p><p>What a stylish bottle to welcome the year!</p>
