Johnnie Walker Blue LabelLunarNewYear_2026

Calling all Johnnie Walker whisky fans – a new Blue Label limited edition has just been released for Lunar New Year, Year of the Horse, in collaboration with Hong Kong-born, London-based haute couturier Robert Wun.  

Wun’s spectacular box and bottle design reimagines the Lunar New Year through his own visionary lens, a tribute to artistry and the pioneering craft of rare whisky making. The release is aimed at both established Blue Label collectors, and luxury consumers drawn to contemporary cultural expression.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year of the Horse 2026 is available from The Whisky Exchange, priced at £225.
