Bottled at 49% abv – a nod to 2049, the year in which the new film is set – it is also stronger than the standard Black Label. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeveridge said: ‘I learned that film-making is much like blending – you have to constantly be committed to creating the best possible outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Johnnie Walker blending tradition dates back to 1820 and I’m honoured to carry on the legacy and collective memory of our other past blenders to ensure that the same whisky enjoyed today can be enjoyed responsibly in 2049.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original \u003cem\u003eBlade Runner\u003c\/em\u003e film was set in Los Angeles in the year 2019 and featured lead character Rick Deckard (played by Harrison Ford) drinking Johnnie Walker poured from a futuristic bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlade Runner 2049\u003c\/em\u003e director Denis Villeneuve said: ‘Like many fans, I remember the Johnnie Walker bottle from the first film, so it was a unique privilege to collaborate with Johnnie Walker on designing a totally original, custom bottle for the new movie.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet 30 years after the original, Blade Runner 2049 stars Ryan Gosling, with Harrison Ford reprising his role of Deckard.

Peat smoke, toffee caramels, fresh banana, and sliced red apple. Promising layers of fruit salad, grape, apple, citrus, and apricot are swept aside by an aggressive peppery attack, emerging to notes of bitter fruit, burnt rubber, and smoke. If this is a glimpse of the future, I’m stockpiling regular Black Label now.\" - \u003ci\u003e88\/100\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhisky Advocate\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e49% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis product is not to be purchased by anyone under the age of 18 or drinking age in their country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe reserve the right to ask for your identification should it be necessary to do so.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnnie Walker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55527415546181,"sku":null,"price":619.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/3958034668_2a7402f1-e0c9-4a32-ad24-d02940e564c8.jpg?v=1746550009","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/johnnie-walker-black-label-blade-runner-2049-directors-cut-limited-edition-blended-scotch-whisky-2020-75cl-copy","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
