For this year’s Lunar New Year, we have collaborated with James Jean, a world-renowned, celebrated contemporary artist and bold cultural pioneer. His hyper-stylized aesthetic floats between dreamlike fantasies with emotional undertones, he imbues his worlds with multiple references – from traditional Chinese scroll paintings to more modern movements, such as anime and comics.
Regarded as the mightiest of all Zodiac animals, the Wood Dragon emerges from an ancient forest as a symbol of life and creativity in this Johnnie Walker Limited Edition Design, a portent of future prosperity that embraces the defiant optimism of ‘Keep Walking’. Re-imagined by James Jean, the evergreen Wood Dragon springs from bountiful Flora and Fauna, and bursts to life with auspicious ambition. His artwork of the Mystical Dragon, interwoven and layered with botanical elements, echoes the visceral flavor experience of this exceptional Scotch.
Just as maturing whiskies blossom into life after careful aging in wooden casks, in 2024, the Year of the Wood Dragon helps good fortunes flourish.
