We sit down with Jonathan Driver to talk whiskey history.
Contrary to the photo above, Jonathan Driver is not a model for Johnnie Walker Blue Label. He is in fact the Global Brand Ambassador of Johnnie Walker Blue Label whom we met up with for the launch of the Johnnie Walker Blue Label new bottle design at the opening of a branded gallery in Sheung Wan.
Open now until 11 September, 2011, ‘The Blue Journey at The Space’ will be home to a series of celebrations and private parties to celebrate the launch, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the incredible story of Johnnie Walker while of course sipping on the delectable Blue Label.
