Johnnie Walker Blue Label Striding City – Guangdong Edition

Honour the economic heartbeat and rich Lingnan culture of Southern China with the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Striding City Edition - Guangdong Whisky. Released as part of an ultra-exclusive four-city series—which also includes landmark bottlings for Beijing, Shanghai, and Fujian—this magnificent Striding City Collection release pays homage to the vibrant history, maritime trade, and modern architectural spirit of Guangdong Province (Canton).

Masterfully blended by Johnnie Walker’s top artisans under Diageo, this rare Scotch whiskey draws from untouchable ghost distilleries and exceptionally aged single malts across Scotland. To deliver a more robust, velvety character worthy of this historic region, the Guangdong Edition is bottled at a special elevated strength of 46% ABV (92 Proof) in a 750ml / 75cl square bottle, offering an amplified flavour density compared to the standard 40% ABV release.

An Ultra-Rare 1 of 888 Cantonese Collector's Piece

Collector's Note: Produced in an extraordinarily tight run of only 888 bottles worldwide, this release is a crown jewel for world whisky portfolios. The number "888" holds immense significance in Cantonese tradition, symbolizing ultimate prosperity, luck, and wealth—making it one of the most coveted luxury liquor gifts for Lunar New Year and high-profile celebrations.

Wrapped around the iconic 24-degree slanting square bottle is a bespoke 360-degree illustration. The artwork beautifully integrates Guangdong’s celebrated icons—from historic Lingnan architecture and ancient trading ports along the Pearl River to the soaring modern skyline of Guangzhou and Shenzhen—all anchored by Johnnie Walker’s timeless "Striding Man" emblem.

Sensory Profile & Tasting Notes

• Aroma / Nose: Complex, warm, and deeply aromatic. A gentle wave of wood smoke opens into rich honey, dark plum, sweet hazelnuts, and subtle orange blossom.
• Palate / Flavour: Silky and expansive across the tongue. Decadent layers of dried fig, dark cocoa, toasted oak, and spiced honey give way to soft malt sweetness and subtle cracked pepper.
• Finish: Luxurious, long, and satisfyingly warming. It tapers with a refined puff of aromatic peat smoke, lingering dark chocolate, and sweet vanilla oak.
