Johnnie Walker Blue Label is an unrivalled masterpiece that combines Scotland's rarest and most exceptional whiskies to create a velvety combination of vanilla, honey and rose petals that melds into a zesty orange flavour with hints of hazelnut, sherry, and dark chocolate. It is an artful mix that echoes the work of self-taught artist and painter Karwai Chan, whose bold paintings capture the essence of life's most challenging and successful moments and associated intense emotions.

Her talent for realism and colour shines through expressive portraits of celebrities, Formula 1 personalities and brands like McLaren, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and more. Over the last few years, her exceptional viewpoint has caught the interest of art collectors. She attracted commissions from large international companies to depict the appeal of limited-edition supercars and more.

Karwai has defined a niche for herself as a contemporary artist, showcasing incredible skill for capturing the beauty of manmade creations as much as honest human passion. "As I create my artworks, I connect to my subject's story. I feel the emotions of each subject deeply. I aim to portray those feelings as closely as possible, so when anyone else looks at my work, they can feel those emotions too."
