Description

Johnnie Walker Black Label The Director’s Cut is the limited edition Blade Runner 2049 blended Scotch — a smooth whisky blend created by the Johnnie Walker Master Blender in collaboration with visionary filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, bottled at 49% ABV as a nod to the futuristic year in which the film is set, presenting the trademark Black Label smokiness with dark fruit and vanilla flavours in a contemporary twist.

Thirty-seven years after the original Blade Runner film (1982) featured Johnnie Walker as the drink of choice, the brand returned to the big screen for the critically acclaimed sequel Blade Runner 2049 (2017). The Director’s Cut bottling at 49% ABV — specifically referencing the year 2049 — was created in direct collaboration with Denis Villeneuve. Browse all Johnnie Walker at Wooden Cork.
