A Lunar New Year Collaboration Rooted in Craft and Creativity
Johnnie Walker is marking the Year of the Horse with a new limited-edition Blue Label release created in collaboration with haute couturier Robert Wun. The partnership brings together two worlds driven by craftsmanship — rare Scotch whisky and avant-garde fashion — reinterpreting Lunar New Year symbolism through a contemporary design lens.
Known for his sculptural silhouettes and bold visual language, the Hong Kong-born, London-based designer lends his distinctive aesthetic to the iconic Blue Label bottle, capturing the horse’s association with movement, freedom and forward momentum.
A Design Inspired by Motion and Optimism
The limited-edition bottle reflects themes commonly associated with the Year of the Horse, including strength, optimism and progress. Robert Wun’s design translates these ideas into layered visual elements that mirror the depth and complexity of Johnnie Walker Blue Label itself, offering a modern take on festive luxury that resonates with both collectors and new audiences.
Rather than leaning on traditional motifs, the design focuses on abstraction and energy, aligning with Wun’s reputation for pushing creative boundaries while respecting heritage.
Inside the Bottle: Johnnie Walker Blue Label
Behind the bespoke exterior is Johnnie Walker Blue Label, a blend crafted from some of the rarest whiskies in the brand’s reserves. Known for its balance and depth, the whisky offers layered notes of spice, vanilla, honey, caramel, hazelnut and dark chocolate, finishing with a gentle smokiness. It is traditionally enjoyed neat or with a small splash of chilled water to open up its complexity.
A Limited Release for Lunar New Year Gifting
Timed for the Lunar New Year gifting season, the limited-edition Blue Label release positions itself as a collector’s piece as much as a celebratory bottle. Available in Singapore through selected specialist retailers and online platforms, it offers an option for those looking to mark the festive period with a design-forward expression of luxury that bridges tradition and contemporary culture.
