Johnnie Walker Black Label x Squid Game Limited Edition

Product Description

Johnnie Walker Black Label x Squid Game: Pick Your Player

Johnnie Walker has officially entered the game. Two global icons team up in this limited-edition release celebrating Squid Game, the record-breaking Netflix series, wrapping the iconic 12-year-old Black Label blend in artwork inspired by the show. Fans will spot the brand's famous "Striding Man" logo reimagined in the show's iconic tracksuit, a detail that's made this release an instant favorite among both whisky collectors and Squid Game fans.

Every bottle is individually numbered from 001 to 456 using variable print technology, directly echoing the show's cast of players, so no two bottles carry the same number and there's no way to request a specific one. Inside is the exact same Johnnie Walker Black Label that's defined the brand for decades, a blend of around 40 whiskies, each aged a minimum of 12 years, drawn from across the four cardinal regions of Scotland. Concepted alongside renowned Korean-American bartender Ginn Choe, the release even comes with its own official cocktail, "the 456," blending Black Label's bold flavor with the earthy, calming character of Bori-Cha, a traditional Korean barley tea, finished with a bubbly, slightly lemon character. It's a smooth, long, lean highball built for a watch party, inspired by a story of progress, choice, and discovery.

Whether you're rewatching the series, hosting a themed watch party, or picking up a genuine collector's piece for a Squid Game fan, this numbered Black Label edition is available for a limited time only, while supplies last.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Ripe dark fruits, soft vanilla, and a touch of smoky oak, layered with baking spices.

Palate: Smooth and multi-layered, with rich dried fruit, sweet vanilla, and creamy toffee, wrapped in Johnnie Walker's signature smokiness.

Finish: Long and warm, with lingering smoke and gentle spice.

Food Pairings

This rich, smoky Black Label edition pairs beautifully with hearty, savory fare. Try it alongside grilled steak, aged cheddar, or smoked charcuterie, or lean into its dried fruit sweetness with dark chocolate or spiced fruit cake.

Serving Suggestions

Johnnie Walker Black Label x Squid Game is excellent neat, over a single large ice cube, or built into a Highball with sparkling water and a lemon twist. For the full experience, try the official "the 456" cocktail, mixing it with Bori-Cha Korean barley tea for a smooth, toasty highball perfect for a watch party.
