Speaking at the TFWA Asia Pacific
Exhibition, Peter Jacobson, commercial
director of Diageo GTME commented:
"Asia’s share of global wealth is
projected to reach 20% by 2014 and
luxury demand is expected to make up a
staggering 40% by 2014. A consumer class
with considerable purchasing power is
emerging in Asia, with a growing
appetite for luxury alcohol brands. For
this reason, it made perfect sense to
launch the exclusive global Johnnie
Walker Blue Label Greg Norman limited
edition here in Singapore - one of the
world’s biggest travel hubs."
In addition to being a world
championship golfer, Greg Norman is also
known for his relentless pursuit of
excellence in business. Greg comments:
“I have enjoyed a long and fruitful
relationship with Johnnie Walker from my
early days as a golfer. I’ve always
believed in challenging myself to go
beyond success on the course and Johnnie
Walker Blue Label consumers share this
drive and ambition. In life, your
success and performance are driven from
within. Keep Walking.”
Johnnie Walker Blue Label, a whisky of
bold, complex and rare character is the
commemoration of John Walker & Sons “Old
High land Whisky” from 1867. Only 1 in
10,000 casks from the four corners of
Scotland are deemed worthy for each
blending of Johnnie Walker Blue Label -
some of these whiskies are from
distilleries which no longer exist. With
such a stringent selection process, the
blend is a truly epic achievement in
whisky crafting, with an intense
richness and soft smoke with layers of
honey and fruit and a powerful,
incredibly smooth finish.
