Johnnie Walker

The Directors Blend as a concept was conceived by David Gates, Global Director at Diageo. The idea was to create an annual release to help stimulate the discussion of blends produced by Diageo. Produced in very small quantities, around 500 bottles per release, the bottles were gifted to Diageo directors around the globe. The idea was that the bottle would be shared, discussed and enjoyed. 6 of these limited edition bottlings were released, the first being launched in 2008. This, the sixth and final edition was released in 2013 from the Johnnie Walkers Directors Blend series, Designed by Claessens, a simple yet elegant and effective design. This release was never made available at retail making this very limited and a very sought-after bottling.  One of only 588 individually numbered bottles.
