Johnnie Walker and Olivier Rousteing Reveals ‘The Couture Blend’

Creative Fashion Director Olivier Rousteing and Master Blender Dr Emma Walker reunite for their second collaboration, unveiling The Couture Blend. It is a striking celebration of personal evolution and the meeting point between haute couture and world-class whisky making. The release builds on the success of their inaugural creation, The Couture Expression, under the Johnnie Walker Vault luxury platform.

Timed to mark Rousteing’s 40th birthday, this exclusive edition marries rare, experimental and aged whiskies selected to stretch the boundaries of the iconic Johnnie Walker house style. 

The blend brings together Scotland’s most forward-thinking modern malts with coveted vintage and ghost whiskies from long-closed distilleries, resulting in a whisky that honours heritage whilst embracing fearless creativity.

Dr Walker hand-picked ten exceptional whiskies from the Johnnie Walker Vault, a meticulously curated library drawn from the 10 million casks at her disposal. 

Ghost whiskies from Port Dundas and Caledonian lend depth and rarity; trailblazing expressions from the 1980s and 1990s, including Benrinnes, Cragganmore and Cameronbridge which contribute character and innovation. 

Contemporary malts from Cardhu (red wine cask), Roseisle and Teaninich’s experimental chocolate malt add a distinctly modern edge.

The Couture Blend opens with vibrant aromas of tropical fruit and red berries, evolving into notes of warm chocolate, gentle spice and a whisper of Islay smoke. 

On the palate, its silky, full-bodied texture reveals layers of dark chocolate, toffee and caramel, lifted by bursts of mango, pineapple and redcurrant. 

As it develops, nuances of roasted coffee and oak spice emerge, leading to a long and harmonious finish where fruit, smoke and sweetness linger with confidence.

Presented in a pure crystal decanter designed by Rousteing, the whisky is showcased in a sculptural silhouette with boldly defined shoulders and an oversized stopper. The design reinterprets Johnnie Walker’s classic square bottle through a couture lens, minimalist in form yet embellished with gold accents that exude contemporary opulence. 

With only 1,500 individually numbered decanters worldwide, of which 39  are allocated to Singapore. 

The Couture Blend is a rare statement piece in both fine whisky and fashion, available exclusively through Marina Bay Sands and The Whisky Distillery, from SGD 3,988.
