Johnnie Walker Black Label X Squid Game Limited Edition
Johnnie Walker Black Label X Squid Game Limited Edition
Johnnie Walker Black Label X Squid Game is a limited-edition release that wraps the iconic 12-year-old blended Scotch whisky in Squid Game artwork inspired by Netflix's record-breaking series. Each bottle is individually numbered 1 through 456, echoing the show's cast of players, which makes every bottle a collector's piece as much as a pour. Inside, it is the same Black Label blend that has defined Johnnie Walker for decades.
Expect the recognizable Black Label profile of rich dried fruit, vanilla, and creamy toffee layered with a signature wisp of Islay smoke. The 40% ABV blend stands up well neat, over a single large cube, or in a Highball with sparkling water and a lemon twist. It also anchors a refined Rob Roy or Whisky Sour, bringing depth without overpowering the other ingredients. Serve in a tumbler and let the smoke bloom before sipping.
Johnnie Walker Black Label is built from a blend of around 40 whiskies, each aged at least 12 years, across the four cardinal regions of Scotland. The Squid Game edition was produced by Diageo as part of a wider run of pop-culture-led collectible bottlings, and supply has been tightly limited worldwide.
How to enjoy: With a perfectly balanced and distinctive flavor profile, Black Label is an excellent choice whether you prefer sipping it neat, mixing it in classic cocktails such as Whisky Sour, or creating refreshing-tasting highballs
- Size: 750 mL

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a gift for the friend who binge-watched every episode and loves a good dram. Inside the Squid Game artwork is the familiar Johnnie Walker Black Label, a 12-year-old blended Scotch, and each bottle carries its own number between 001 and 456, a nod to the show's cast of players. That detail makes it feel chosen rather than grabbed, and it gives the recipient a bottle worth keeping on display after the last pour. In the glass, expect ripe dark fruit, soft vanilla, and a touch of smoky oak on the nose. The smooth palate brings caramel, creamy toffee, and dried fruit, and the long, warming finish carries baking spice and a delicate wisp of smoke. At 40% ABV it is easygoing neat in a tumbler, mellow over a large cube, or bright in a Highball with sparkling water and a lemon twist. It suits a birthday, a finale watch party, or a thank-you for someone who enjoys both pop culture and a well-made blend.
Pairs well with
- Birthday for a Squid Game fan — The numbered series artwork makes it a personal keepsake, while the toffee-and-dried-fruit blend gives the celebration a satisfying pour.
- Johnnie Walker tasting party — Setting it alongside other Johnnie Walker expressions lets guests compare its vanilla, caramel, and delicate smoke against its siblings.
- Sharp aged cheddar — The cheese's salty bite plays against the whisky's creamy toffee and caramel sweetness, while the gentle smoke rounds out each bite.
