Johnnie Walker

Crafted in Johnnie Walker Vault, the Couture Blend is the centrepiece to Rousteing's collaboration, and follows the success of the Couture Expression: the first release of a blend of rare and exquisite whiskies from Dr. Walker and Rousteing from the Johnnie Walker Vault.

This bold and diverse blend was crafted using 10 exceptional whiskies from the renowned Johnnie Walker Vault, including rare and experimental expressions sourced from both long-closed distilleries and contemporary innovators, resulting in a whisky that masterfully blends tradition with innovation.

The Couture Blend launches at a significant moment for Rousteing: his 40th birthday – a milestone he describes as “entering a new chapter with wisdom, freedom and serenity”. To celebrate this milestone and pay homage to Rousteing’s personal journey of progress, Dr. Walker included several whiskies of at least 40 years old in the blend, layering them with experimental and rare whiskies – creating an interesting tension of flavour and styles.

For this truly unique and celebratory blend, Dr. Walker selected ghost whiskies from long-closed distilleries such as Port Dundas and Caledonian to tell a story of tradition, heritage and rarity. Around these she layered trailblazing whiskies from the 80s and 90s, including expressions from Benrinnes, Cragganmore and Cameronbridge. Finally, she chose contemporary expressions from the last two decades which experiment with process and finishes, including malts from Cardhu, Roseisle and Teaninich.

Encased in an architecturally stunning crystal decanter, designed by Rousteing himself, the whisky's presentation is a modern clash of heritage and style, echoing Rousteing’s bold signature tailoring and architectural aesthetic in design, whilst staying true to Johnnie Walker. With only 1,500 individually numbered decanters available world-wide, this masterpiece is a true collector's item.
