Tasting Notes
Johnnie Walker Blue Label's Elusive Umami is a true masterpiece, a harmonious blend of sweet and savory flavors that tantalizes the senses. Crafted with meticulous care, only one in 25,000 casks is deemed worthy of this exclusive blend. The nose invites you with notes of bloody orange, ripe red berries, smoked meat, and sweet wood spice. As you take a sip, a delightful medley of pineapple, blackberries, and chocolate intertwined with caramelized miso unfolds on your palate. The finish is a lingering embrace of spiciness, richness, and a refreshing saline note that leaves you craving for more. This limited-edition whisky is a true testament to the artistry of master blender Emma Walker and renowned Japanese chef Kei Kobayashi, who have masterfully captured the elusive essence of umami, the mysterious fifth taste. Pair it with caviar, and you'll experience a taste sensation like no other.
