Heritage
Johnnie Walker Blue Label Diwali Limited Edition by Rahul Mishra – Blended Scotch Whisky, 92 Proof (750 ml) is a collector’s masterpiece that unites fine Scotch whisky with Indian artistry. Designed by celebrated fashion designer Rahul Mishra, this limited-edition release honors the spirit of Diwali — the festival of light — through intricate, symbolic artwork celebrating renewal, unity, and illumination.
Inside the exquisite bottle lies the iconic Johnnie Walker Blue Label, a blend of Scotland’s rarest and most exceptional whiskies, each hand-selected for its depth, smoothness, and balance. Bottled at 92 proof, this edition delivers richness and elegance while maintaining Blue Label’s signature harmony. Both luxurious and meaningful, it’s a perfect fusion of heritage, craftsmanship, and cultural celebration.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes Luxurious and velvet-smooth, with Blue Label’s hallmark of honeyed malt and polished oak wrapped in orange oil, ripe stone fruit, and golden sultanas. A gentle wisp of smoke threads through vanilla fudge, dark chocolate, and toasted almonds, with hints of heather, sandalwood spice, and a touch of leather. The palate is satin-rich at 92 proof—silky caramel, citrus peel, and sweet cereal gliding into a long, poised finish of cocoa, soft smoke, and warm spice.
Food Pairings Lean into celebratory, spice-fragrant dishes: tandoori lamb chops with mint, chicken tikka or murgh makhani, saffron vegetable biryani with toasted cashews, or grilled prawns with lemon and cumin. It’s superb with buttery naan, roasted nuts with garam masala, and semi-hard cheeses like aged Gouda or Comté. For a sweet finish, pair with dark-chocolate orange truffles, pistachio halwa, almond barfi, or a not-too-sweet saffron kulfi—the citrus, cocoa, and subtle smoke line up beautifully.
Craftsmanship
Johnnie Walker is one of the most recognizable and influential names in Scotch whisky — a brand that transformed Scotch from local tradition into a global legacy.
Originating in Kilmarnock, Scotland in the early 19th century, John Walker began as a grocer who blended and sold whiskies for local customers. Over time, the blending side of his business grew, and by the late 1800s, his son Alexander had refined the process, emphasizing consistency and balance across blends.
What set Johnnie Walker apart was its ambition to be more than a local drink. The brand embraced innovation early — blending whiskies to smooth inconsistencies among single distilleries, investing in marketing, and developing a broad “ladder” of expressions (Red Label, Black Label, Green, Gold, Blue, etc.) to appeal across price points and tastes.
Johnnie Walker stands for versatility, continuity, and craftsmanship. Its signature Striding Man logo signifies forward motion — a kind of whisky brand with a built-in philosophy: “Keep Walking.” Today, even its limited editions combine heritage and creativity — limited releases, regional expressions, and artistic collaborations blossom from a foundation of rigorous blending standards and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
