Experience an unprecedented expression in the world of luxury Scotch with Johnnie Walker Blue Label Elusive Umami, a limited‑edition interpretation of the iconic Blue Label that explores the enigmatic “fifth taste” — umami — through masterful whisky blending and culinary inspiration. This rare release is the result of a collaboration between Johnnie Walker Master Blender Emma Walker and acclaimed Japanese chef Kei Kobayashi, who together selected only the most exceptional casks to capture savoury richness and multi‑layered complexity.
On the nose, enjoy aromas of blood orange, red berries, and sweet wood spice, balanced with subtle hints of smoked meat and gentle salt. The palate reveals a harmonious fusion of sweet and savoury flavours — including caramelised miso notes, grilled pineapple, rich cacao, and blackberry tannins — with underlying depth and elegance. The finish is long and refined, offering sweet fruit and cleansing mineral salinity that lingers on the palate.
Crafted from an exceptionally small selection of rare whiskies (only one in 25,000 casks selected to achieve the umami profile), this expression elevates the signature smoothness of Blue Label with a thoughtfully layered and savoury signature. Elusive Umami is designed to be enjoyed neat — and its creators even suggest pairing it with premium Oscietra caviar to amplify its sensory depth.
Perfect for collectors, connoisseurs, and those seeking a truly distinctive luxury whisky experience, Johnnie Walker Blue Label Elusive Umami pushes the boundaries of blended Scotch with a captivating blend of sweet, savoury, and spice influences.
