HIGH LIFE #14 Nov 2017 75 尊 尼获加蓝牌与屡获殊荣的插画师倪传婧合作，打造了在 香港独家推出的「Pioneering cities」限量版。 「Pioneering cities」是威士忌大师与天才插画师通力合 作的成果。无与伦比的瓶身设计出自倪传婧之手，以穿上全套 戏服的粤剧演员为主角，并以标志性的天际线、殖民地建筑物 及霓虹灯为背景。将酒瓶不同的四面平排而列，整套作品便会 呈现眼前，展示出香港这个引人赞叹的国际大都会的面貌。 倪传婧的插画讲求熟练工艺和细致入微，这正好与尊尼获 J ohnnie Walker Blue Label has partnered with award- winning illustrator Victo Ngai to produce a new limited edition bottle exclusive to Hong Kong. “Pioneering cities” is a collaboration between two masters of their respective arts, with Ngai’s incredibly intricate work producing an unrivalled bottle-artwork masterpiece. Wrapping around the bottle, it depicts a Cantonese opera performer taking center stage with her costume, adornedwithsuggestions of the city’s iconic skyline, colonial architecture and neon lights. Place four bottles side by side and they come together to create a stunning visage of cosmopolitan Hong Kong. The level of craft and intricacy needed for Ngai’s 加蓝牌对于打造高品质威士忌的要求一脉相承——一万桶酒藏 中只有一桶能制成尊尼获加蓝牌。 瓶身插画以不同深浅的金色和蓝色为主调，以回应尊尼获 加蓝牌的品牌色调，包括品牌标签、渐变蓝色瓶底、金色瓶盖 上以中国为主题的装饰流苏，以及瓶中金色的威士忌酒液。 每一瓶酒均附上以香港地区代码「852」为首再加上4位 数字的专属编号。每瓶70毫升的限量版威士忌售价为2,300港 元。 illustrations matches the sheer caliber required to create the Johnnie Walker Blue Label blend – a highly selective process in which only one in 10,000 casks, chosen from the four corners of Scotland, are deemed of sufficient quality. To accentuate their kinship, shades of gold and blue are used throughout the illustration to further echo the tone of the Johnnie Walker Blue Label brand – apparent in the brand label, the ombre-blue bottle base, the Chinese-themed decorative tassel hanging from the golden cap and of course the golden liquid within. Each “Pioneering cities” bottle possesses its own seven figure serial number starting with Hong Kong’s “852” area code with a retail price of HK$2,300 per 70cl bottle.
