For the first time ever, a specially curated private blending experience is being offered to a select few. Johnnie Walker invites you on an exclusive journey with Master Blender Dr. Emma Walker to the Johnnie Walker Vault on Johnnie Walker Princes Street in Edinburgh.

You'll stay at the legendary Gleneagles Hotel and enjoy a Michelin-starred dinner, as well as a personal blending session with Dr. Walker, where you'll be presented with your personalized blend.

Dr. Walker personally creates unique, bespoke blends for a select few, selecting meaningful drops from the rarest whiskies stored in the Johnnie Walker Vault. Each blend is tailored to the individual palates of Dr. Walker's guests.

"With her skill at telling stories through whisky—and a selection of 500 whiskies from our rare, mature, and ghost casks, showcasing the best of the 10 million Scotch casks at her disposal—our Master Blender Dr. Emma Walker captures personal stories and passions, creating unique blends that showcase the blending art at the heart of Johnnie Walker. All this magic happens in the Johnnie Walker Vault: an exclusive studio beneath Princes Street in Edinburgh," we read on the Johnnie Walker website.

"Johnnie Walker Vault is our treasure trove. It's where I can curate and share our rarest and most exceptional Scotch whiskies, and from these create unique blends which sing to my guests and showcase the blending artistry at the heart of Johnnie Walker. It is a very special place to me, but it's also much more than just a physical space – it's a platform through which I can take deeply personal stories and translate them into beautiful, one-of-a-kind blends. It's a real privilege to be a part of capturing and bottling these wonderful stories." Dr. Emma Walker, Johnnie Walker Master Blender.

This exclusive experience will take place in late summer/early autumn 2025 and will be offered to select guests who can look forward to a Michelin-starred dinner and a glamorous stay at the legendary Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire. This once-in-a-lifetime journey will include luxurious activities deeply rooted in Scottish tradition before culminating in a personal blending session with Dr. Walker.

"The Johnnie Walker Vault reflects our commitment to the evolving desires of the luxury consumer and to transforming luxury spirits through elevated personalization, unique experiences, and exceptional products." Julie Bramham, Managing Director of Diageo Luxury Group.

Your curated whisky will be presented to you in a handcrafted crystal decanter by the renowned French luxury house Baccarat. Your personal, unique blend will also be preserved in the Johnnie Walker Vault archive, leaving behind your very own legacy alongside legendary whisky creations and enabling future commissions.

Blending Artistry - The experience starts at £50,000.
