The Johnnie
Walker Grand Voyage is a new immersive
experience at Oblix East, The Shard,
London.
The Johnnie Walker Grand Voyage is a
new immersive experience from Diageo
Reserve at the experiential drinking and
dining destination Oblix East, London,
which is located on the 32nd floor of
The Shard.
The Johnnie Walker Grand Voyage
experience at Oblix East is designed to
reflect
the brand’s own journey; originating in
the four corners of Scotland, and now
enjoyed across the globe.
A
unique activation housed exclusively at Oblix East,
it will invite guests to
taste premium whiskies and luxury
cocktails infused with global flavours.
The eight different Johnnie Walker
blends will be matched with small plates
that reflect the flavours highlighted
throughout the journey.
A bespoke whisky vessel, designed to
embody a shipping crate, reflecting the
voyaging theme, will house eight tanks,
each filled with a premium selection of
Johnnie Walker blends for guests to
choose from. Each tank is encased in
wood that is infused with distinctive
flavour profiles from around the world,
such as Apple, Cinnamon, Bergamot &
Chamomile from Europe; Fig & Ras El
Hanout from The Middle East; or Tobacco,
Popcorn & Walnut from the USA.
Infused via a reverse barrel process,
the wood has been aged for over four
weeks prior to the launch. The vessel
will permanently sit atop the bar at
Oblix East and boasts designs inspired
by the whisky shipping crates found in
the Johnnie Walker archive. Guests will
also receive an accompanying
passport-style menu, highlighting the
various regions and serves, giving
guests the chance to stamp their visits
to each part of the world.
