Johnnie Walker Black Label Blade Runner 2049
The 1982 film, Blade Runner presented a chilling vision of a dystopian future, with Johnnie Walker Black Label appearing as the protagonist’s drink of choice. Now, we’ll reprise Johnnie Walker’s role in Blade Runner 2049 – with a futuristic design and integration into the sequel, propelling the brand with 200 years of history another 30+ years into the future. The liquid, a cask strength, “Director’s Cut” is co-created by Jim Beveridge and Denis Villeneuve, inspired by the intensity and dark noir notes of the film.
From FoodandWine.com: This collaboration between Johnnie Walker and Blade Runner is more than just a random advertising campaign. Fans of the original film may remember that Johnnie Walker got a cameo in the first flick as Harrison Ford’s character’s beverage of choice. The Scotch will be getting a product placement in the sequel too, though this time around, sci-fi-loving Scotch drinkers will also have the chance to pick up the futuristic bottle seen in the movie on store shelves.

Tasting Notes: The nose has a wintery spiciness to it with hints of floral and citrus and some white pepper. The palate is full with a variety of flavors: creamy toffee and glazed pecan provide a sweetness with complementary charred oak wood and peat smoke. It finishes with slightly sweet mixed fruit peels. Add a drop of water to open up more sweet notes of shortbread and vanilla.
