The showstopper to the collection, featured in the film, is a limited edition Private Bar from £150,000, perfectly crafted for a bold new whisky experience and available to only 50 VIPs across the world, with one holding a special place in the exclusive JOHNNIE WALKER® House in Shanghai. Bespoke customisation options and a personal tasting with Jonathan Driver, JOHNNIE WALKER® BLUE LABEL™ brand ambassador, are exclusive to every buyer.  The film features additional covetable items in the collection including the Carton, Chiller, Mini Cube and Cask Edition™; at the centrepiece is the JOHNNIE WALKER® BLUE LABEL™ Limited Edition Bottle, a unique take on the iconic bottle as designed by Porsche Design Studio.

Rudy Paoli, Managing Director, Global Reserve, DIAGEO, said the film would showcase the modern design and innovative technology that are characteristic of the exclusive collection: "The film, 'ENGINEERING A BOLD, NEW, WHISKY EXPERIENCE', will open consumers' eyes to the depth of rare design, exquisite craft and exclusive personalisation possibilities which define this new, super deluxe, collection of whisky experiences.

"When the collection was realised, it became clear that that there were a series of untold stories of the craftsmanship underpinning this collection and the convergence of these two iconic luxury brands. Featuring the designers, artisans and experts behind the collection, the film documents a journey of craft, revolutionising the very principles of design."
