(Hong Kong, January 2019) For the first time in Hong Kong, Johnnie Walker Blue Label reveals some of the rarest expressions of whisky used to craft this exceptional Scotch. From 18 February to 2 March 2019, Johnnie Walker will be creating a Scottish sanctuary right in the heart of Hong Kong – the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Bothy – to introduce a remarkable whisky experience inspired by some of the rarest single malt and grain whiskies from its unparalleled reserves used to craft Johnnie Walker Blue Label. 

The Johnnie Walker Blue Label Bothy invites guests to discover more about the rare whiskies, rolling waves of flavour and centuries of intricate craft that go into every drop of Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Guests will experience a unique tasting of some of the rarest whiskies from across the four corners of Scotland, including an incredibly rare 1975 Cambus single cask expression. Each element of this unique tasting experience has been complemented by a private dining menu, created and hosted by Michelin-decorated chefs Nicholas Chew and Noël Berard. Mr. Noël Berard is Chef de Cuisine of Écriture Restaurant (2*).

At Écriture, French cuisine is elevated to new heights by uniting it with exceptional Japanese produce to explore the endless possibilities that occur when Western craftsmanship meets Eastern philosophies. Écriture was awarded with two stars by the 2019 MICHELIN Guide. Mr. Nicholas Chew is Executive Chef of BIBO, Hong Kong’s first Relais & Chateaux appointed venue. Mr. Chew brings Michelin-starred experience from his tenure at Serge et le Phoque, which became worldrenowned for its exceptional take on classic French cuisine as well as working under culinary luminaries such as the late Joël Robuchon.

A commemorative engraved bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label 75cl was included at HK$1,820 per person.

The Johnnie Walker Blue Label Bothy takes its name from the Scottish word for those rare hideaways found in the mountains used by explorers seeking sanctuary from the elements, making it the perfect setting for this exclusive experience, transporting guests to a quiet Scottish idyll away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Johnnie Walker Blue Label will be taking over Test Kitchen in Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong to create thisintimate private dining setting of just 15 seats for lunch and dinner to explore the layers of flavour in the incredible whiskies used to craft our award-winning Scotch*.

Guests are invited to explore the four main whiskymaking regions of Scotland, experiencing each region’s own distinctive character and flavour profile - the West Coast and Islands, the Highlands, Speyside and the Lowlands - and the depth of character these bring to every drop of Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
