Olivier Rousteing Partners with Johnnie Walker Usher In A New Chapter in Whisky and Couture

This luxurious partnership merges the worlds of fine whisky and high fashion, Johnnie Walker has unveiled an extraordinary new release in collaboration with Balmain’s creative force, Olivier Rousteing. This rare four-part collection reimagines whisky through the lens of seasonal change, much like Rousteing’s own approach to fashion design.

Each of the four expressions has been crafted to reflect the spirit of a season, from the freshness of spring to the depth of winter, with a bespoke blend matched to each time of year. The liquids are housed in striking decanters developed in partnership with Baccarat, each finished in a different metallic hue corresponding to its respective season.

This debut of Rousteing as the inaugural cultural figure welcomed into the Johnnie Walker Vault, a newly introduced global luxury platform. The Vault brings together elite collaborations, unique blends and immersive experiences, all unified by a focus on creative mastery and rarity.

In close collaboration with Johnnie Walker’s Master Blender, Dr Emma Walker, Rousteing drew upon both the visual richness of couture and the depth of over 500 rare whiskies held within the Vault. The result is a highly exclusive series of expressions that speak to heritage, innovation and design in equal measure.

The Johnnie Walker Vault x Olivier Rousteing Couture Expression will see a pre-launch at Harrods beginning 5 May 2025, with each bottle of the debut collection numbered ‘1’. Globally, the full collection becomes available from 26 May, with only 25 decanters of each seasonal edition released worldwide.

The recommended price for each bottle stands at £16000, a rarefied offering for those seeking the intersection of taste and artistry.
