Diageo has launched a 20cl bottle of its Johnnie Walker Black Label as it looks to make whisky more accessible to consumers in South Korea.
The new pack, which rolled out yesterday, follows a launch for a 20cl Johnnie Walker Red Label last October, the firm said. The 20cl bottle comes with lemon syrup and a recipe for a ‘Johnnie Lemon’ cocktail.
“Diageo Korea has worked to promote a new drinking culture that makes whisky more accessible to local consumers in various ways,” said Diageo Korea CEO Cho Kilsoo. “Following a small format of Johnnie Walker Red launched last year, the new Johnnie Walker Black Label 20cl is expected to contribute to building a new whisky culture that enables people to enjoy whisky more casually.”
The new product will be available through convenience stores and hypermarkets, nation-wide. Diageo said the packs will be priced at about KRW16,000 (US$13.99). Red Label packs retail at around KRW8,500.
