Johnnie Walker marks 200th year with Black Label Origin series
MARKING its 200th year, Johnnie Walker introduces the Johnnie Walker Black Label Origin Series in partnership with Manila cocktail joint OTO. The limited edition collection celebrates the spirit of exploration and the many flavor profiles of Scotland. The Johnnie Walker Black Label Origin Series features two blends: the Johnnie Walker Black Label Speyside Origin and the Johnnie Walker Black Label Lowlands Origin. Each of the two blends are made exclusively using whiskies from the Speyside and Lowland regions of Scotland to bring out the primary flavor characteristics of those areas. Johnnie Walker Black Label Speyside Origin is a light and fruity whisky with hints of cut green apple and orchard fruit. Made exclusively from quality single malts from the Speyside region, it features whisky from the distilleries of Cardhu and Glendullan at its heart. Johnnie Walker Black Label Lowlands Origin has a luxuriously sweet and creamy mouthfeel, with vanilla character and subtle notes of toffee. It is made exclusively from a variety of single malt and grain whiskies from the Lowlands, including distilleries of Glenkinchie and Cameronbridge. The Johnnie Walker Black Label Origin Series is available for P1,899 SRP per bottle exclusively at The Booze Shop (www.boozeshop.ph). There will be two Johnnie Walker Black Label Origin Series cocktails available in OTO for a month in September. The Take Over, The Breaks Over is made with Johnnie Walker Black Label Speyside Origin as the base, plus sherry port, pandan syrup, and citric adjusted tepach. Meanwhile, Good Times, Bad Times features Johnnie Walker Black Label Lowlands Origin, corn tea, ripe mango, and palm sugar syrup. These special cocktails come as the second installment of OTO’s monthly collaboration concoctions, most of the proceeds from which will go to helping the Poblacion bar community. Each order will come with a 120ml cocktail and a free 60ml bottle of the base whisky used. More details will be announced soon; check out OTO’s Instagram page at @oto.ph for more details.
