Johnnie Walker Blue Label Elusive Umami Special Limited Release

A beautifully balanced scotch of sweet and savoury flavours, with notes of blood oranges and red berries, a touch of smoked meat, warming salt and pepper with a long, sweet fruit finish.

Setting out to push the boundaries of what Scotch Whisky could be, Johnnie Walker Master Blender Emma Walker and Japanese chef Kei Kobayashi have encapsulated the enigmatic taste of umami. Only one in 25,000 casks succeed in bringing this limited edition blend to life.

We’ve honed our craft into a precision process that respects the many elements shaping a Scotch Whisky’s final flavour and character, including the type of grains and yeast used, the shape of the still, and the length of time it’s matured in the cask.

“Umami possesses a mysterious quality that ignites our senses, revealing sumptuous taste and complexity. The final liquid is a multi-faceted expression of what I interpret Umami to be.” — KEI KOBAYASHI, Chef
