Johnnie Walker Blade Runner The Director's Cut Black Label is a limited edition Scotch whisky crafted to celebrate the release of the 2017 film 'Blade Runner 2049'. Produced in Scotland by master blender Jim Beveridge in collaboration with director Denis Villeneuve, this whisky explores how the future of Scotch might taste. It blends more than 30 single malts and grain whiskies, staying true to the classic Black Label style but with an intensified smokier profile, designed to evoke a futuristic interpretation of Scotch.
Tasting notes reveal layers of rich, smoky flavors with hints of dark fruits, vanilla, and spice. The smokiness is more pronounced than the standard Black Label, giving the whisky a bold and complex character, with a touch of sweetness and warmth on the palate. The smooth finish lingers with a smoky, slightly peaty undertone, making it a deep and captivating experience.
Bottled at 49% ABV, in homage to the year 2049, this whisky is stronger than the traditional Black Label. It can be enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to open up its flavors, offering a versatile drinking experience that is both futuristic and timeless.
