Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve “Make it Gold” Party 240513

[Event]

Headed over to Zouk Club KL for the launch of the JOHNNIE WALKER® GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ Limited Edition bottle at the “MAKE IT GOLD” party on 24 May 2013. The first JOHNNIE WALKER® Gold Label Reserve Limited Edition bottle features a metallized gold glossy finish, which gives the bottle a vibrant and attractive look.

Velvet Underground in Zouk Club KL was transformed to provide guests a very luxurious ambience with gold decor and displays of the JOHNNIE WALKER® GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ Limited Edition bottle.

Charles James Wright, Senior Brand Manager of JOHNNIE WALKER® Malaysia remarked that the JOHNNIE WALKER® GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ Limited Edition bottle is the ultimate expression of life’s golden moments, and is gaining more recognition amongst whisky drinkers seeking a more refined and luxurious flavour experience, and they are starting to appreciate GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ as the celebration blend for all occasions.

I think that Johnnie Walker Malaysia had done quite a good job building the brand over the years as I now see clubbers and drinkers at Zouk Club KL, iDarts and other clubs ordering this whisky. BTW did you know that I was there at the Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve launch back in 2010? Read about it at https://timchew.net/2010/01/31/johnnie-walker-gold-label-reserve-launch-280110/

Then it was time to announce the winner of this gold bar embossed with the iconic striding man worth RM 25,000 from Poh Kong™, Malaysia’s premier jewelers

And the lucky winner of the gold bar was Owen Ting

Who remarkably was checking his watch while receiving his prize. Wonder what he was thinking. Perhaps damn now it's too late to go to the goldsmith shop to sell off my gold bar. — Who remarkably was checking his watch while receiving his prize. Wonder what he was thinking.

For us clubbers, opening a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label while out partying in a club is almost second nature but when you are in a celebratory mood or would like a change you may opt for the GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ which delivers a rich and smooth taste. The core of the whisky is CLYNELISH™, a Highland malt distilled with water from the Kildonan hills in Scotland where gold deposits were found in the early 19th century. The Clynelish is then blended with specially hand-selected casks of whiskies from the JOHNNIE WALKER® Master Blender’s private reserve making this whisky that’s great for celebrations and parties!

The JOHNNIE WALKER® GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ Limited Edition bottle will be available at participating outlets nationwide from late May while stocks last. You can specially order a take-home Limited Edition bottle in a gold gift bag at Zouk Club KL and other selected outlets nationwide.

Keep Walking and remember – never drink and drive!
