Johnnie Walker Blue Label Indian Festive Blend Launches for India's Festive Season

Johnnie Walker Unveils Blue Label Indian Festive Blend

Johnnie Walker has launched the Blue Label Indian Festive Blend, a limited edition expression created exclusively for India's festive season. Unveiled on 29 September 2026, the release marks the second year of the scotch whisky brand's collaboration with Indian couturier Rahul Mishra.

Master blender Dr Emma Walker created the blend from some of the rarest whiskies in Johnnie Walker's reserves of more than 10 million aging casks. Only one in every 10,000 casks is considered to have the depth of flavor required for Johnnie Walker Blue Label.

The Blend: Rare Whiskies for the Festive Table

The blend was developed to complement the richness and diversity of Indian cuisine, drawing on the balance of spice, sweetness and aromatic complexity found in the country's culinary heritage. It combines Scotch whiskies from across Scotland, including the closed Port Dundas distillery for sweet depth, Clynelish for tropical brightness and a silky mouthfeel, Blair Athol for a warm spicy heart, and Talisker for gentle maritime smoke.

Official notes describe layers of fragrant cardamom and saffron, delicate rosewater and bright citrus, honeyed richness and chocolate dipped fruit, balanced by warm spices and a gentle wisp of smoke. The whisky is bottled at 40.8% ABV.

Rahul Mishra's Design and the Festive Campaign

The edition's presentation is a tribute to India's diversity of flavor and expression, with colors and patterns woven together to mirror its vibrant ingredients, its richness and its bright spirit of progress.

"By layering aromatic notes of cardamom, clove and cinnamon with smooth sweetness and our signature depth of flavour, we've created a whisky that complements the richness of India's festive table while remaining unmistakably Johnnie Walker Blue Label."

The release opens a wider festive campaign from the two partners, with a series of exclusive experiences, immersive activations and curated celebrations planned in the coming months. Johnnie Walker is owned by Diageo and is the world's number one scotch whisky, with India among the most important growth markets for scotch globally.
