Blue Label Elusive Umami

About

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Elusive Umami is a groundbreaking, limited edition that explores the enigmatic taste known as umami, the fifth taste that tantalizes the senses with its complexity and depth. This refined blended whisky is the result of a collaboration between Master Blender Emma Walker and world-renowned chef Kei Kobayashi. They meticulously selected casks from both inland and coastal distilleries in Scotland to capture the unique umami experience. Only one in 25,000 casks possesses the ability to bring this elusive character to life. On the palate, this whisky offers a creamy mouthfeel with subtle sweetness highlighted by crème caramel and meringue, gently complemented by ginger and orange notes. The nose reveals hints of ripe apple and charred orange peel, with a touch of nuttiness. The finish is rich and spicy, with a long, refreshing saline note. This whisky offers an unparalleled taste experience that balances sweet and savory elements.
