Johnnie Walker Blue Label CNY 2024 Art by James Jean

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’.

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. Reimagined by Asian-American artist and cultural pioneer, James Jean, the evergreen Wood Dragon springs from bountiful flora and fauna and bursts to life with auspicious ambition.
