Diageo launches Johnnie Walker Blue Label immersive experience in Dubai Airport
There are two pop-up lounges in Terminals 1 and 3 of the Dubai International Airport
In celebration of the fifth release in the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare series of limited editions, Port Dundas, Diageo Global Travel is opening two new immersive experiences in Dubai Duty Free at Dubai International Airport.
The two pop-up lounges located in Terminals 1 and 3 give shoppers the opportunity to experience and taste the luxury world of Johnnie Walker Blue Label at a bespoke sampling bar and product discovery area offering a multi-sensory experience. Purchasing travelers will also receive the luxury gifting Johnnie Walker Blue options of personalized luggage tags and gift bags.
The next release in the multi award-winning series, Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Dundas is an exceptional Scotch that explores the character of exceptional and rare whiskies from one of world’s most famous Grain Whisky distilleries, the Glasgow “ghost” distillery of Port Dundas.
The Johnnie Walker team of whisky makers, led by Johnnie Walker Master Blender Dr. Emma Walker, hand-picked the most distinctive expressions of maturing whisky from Port Dundas for this new limited edition Scotch.
"Creamy, wood notes from Port Dundas embrace the vanilla and soft smoke from the “ghost” whiskies of Cambus and original stocks of Brora. Other very rare whiskies from Cameronbridge and Glenkinchie reveal notes of spiced apples alongside Clynelish, Dailuaine and Auchroisk, bringing aromas of peaches and berries," reads the press release.
The experiential hubs in T1 and T3 will be supported by an omni-channel campaign including OOH media on digital screens throughout the terminals. There will also be a digital advertising campaign on Dubai Duty Free owned channels.
