These digital tokens unlock access to a unique piece of graphic design by artist Kode Abdo — better known as BossLogic. The renowned artist is known for his fancasts, creating posters for some big recent films, and more recently, teaming up with footballer Lionel Messi to create a new series of artistic NFTs.
Tied to each bottle is a one-off opportunity to take a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Johnnie Walker Princes Street – the brand’s visitor experience in Edinburgh, Scotland, where imbibers will be treated to a journey of Johnnie Walker and the country’s whisky-making culture. Staying at the palatial Gleneagles Townhouse, NFT owners will tour the iconic Glenkinchie Distillery, which plays such an integral role in the crafting of Johnnie Walker whisky, take a guided tour of the Diageo archive and enjoy VIP tastings of only the rarest and most collectible whiskies from the Diageo collection.

Johnnie Walker Masters of Flavour is crafted from rare whiskies that have all been aged for at least 48 years– from the four “ghost” distilleries of Port Dundas, Brora, Glen Albyn and Glenury Royal. It sits in a hand blown, green Baccarat crystal decanter and is beautifully presented in a hand crafted, wooden cabinet.
