About this bottle

Elusive Umami was developed in partnership between Master Blender Emma Walker and Chef Kei Kobayashi, whose Paris restaurant Kei regained its three Michelin stars in 2023. Expanding upon the established Johnnie Walker Blue Label profile, the duo aimed to capture the essence of umami, often described as a savory taste. This bottling utilizes selected casks from both inland and coastal distilleries, with only one in every 25,000 casks possessing the desired flavor profile. It is available globally for a limited duration starting October 16, 2023, with pre-sales commencing October 2nd, at a suggested retail price of $369.99.

Tastes like moss and mold. Improved slightly on the second taste. It's just okay.
