Sponsored Post: A Short Film by Johnnie Walker Blue Label

words Rosie Blunt

5th September 2014

Do you like whiskey? If so, you'll appreciate Johnnie Walker Blue Label. It's a blend of Scotland's rare whiskies: I'm told that only one in ten-thousand casks is of sufficient quality to be chosen for the Blue Label blend.

With this standard in mind, the team behind Johnnie Walker Blue Label recently set out to make a short film to encapsulate the character of their whiskey. Called The Gentleman's Wager, it stars Jude Law and Giancarlo Giannini and begins on an old, beautiful boat in the Caribbean. 

While the film's scenario is miles away from anywhere I'd imagine myself to be hanging out, its exoticism is precisely the point. One pleasure of enjoying a good whiskey are the fantasies of the drink's history and persona that blend together one fine sip at a time.
