Johnnie Walker Blue Label Elusive Umami Limited Edition 70cl

The Fifth Taste, Bottled — A Johnnie Walker Blue Label Like No Other

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Elusive Umami is a remarkable limited edition expression that pushes the boundaries of blended Scotch whisky. Created in collaboration with world-renowned chef Kei Kobayashi — the first Japanese chef to hold three Michelin stars in France — this is a whisky designed to evoke the mysterious, deeply satisfying sensation of umami: the fifth taste.

Master Blender Emma Walker selected rare whiskies from Johnnie Walker's most exceptional reserves, seeking out casks with naturally savoury, rich, and complex characteristics. The result is a Blue Label expression unlike any other — one that bridges the worlds of fine whisky and haute cuisine in a genuinely original way.

The nose is intriguing and layered — smoked dried fruits, dark chocolate, a whisper of sea salt, and the signature Blue Label richness. On the palate, the umami character reveals itself beautifully: waves of roasted nuts, aged leather, dried mushroom, dark toffee, and a subtle coastal smokiness. The finish is exceptionally long, savoury-sweet, and deeply complex. A whisky that genuinely surprises and rewards.
