Johnnie Walker Blue Label, the world's iconic Scotch Whisky brand, has redefined the art of Scotch by capturing the mysterious and tantalising essence of Umami - the coveted 'fifth taste' that has long delighted the afficionados of Japanese cuisine.
Johnnie Walker Blue Label Elusive Umami was innovated and masterfully crafted by Johnnie Walker Master Blender Emma Walker and renowned Chef Kei Kobayashi. The duo joined forces to decode and expertly create a Scotch whisky that pushes the boundaries of what Scotch could be and encapsulates the enigmatic taste of Umami. Only one in 25,000 casks made the cut in the search for the elusive flavour profile – each expression of whisky was hand-picked to create an Umami profile and bring the unique character of this innovative whisky to life.
The result, a beautifully balanced blend of sweet and savoury flavours and boasts notes of blood oranges and red berries, complemented by sweet wood spice, a touch of smoked meat, a hint of salt and pepper, and a long, sweet fruit finish.
