Johnnie Walker Blue Label and vintage jewellery boutique Revival Jewels may occupy vastly different spaces, but the two are more similar than one would think.
The whisky is a blend of the rarest and most interesting single malts from Johnnie Walker’s massive reserve of ageing Scotch, including those from long closed ghost distilleries. Only one in every 10,000 casks make it into the bottle to create its distinct flavour profile – think the delicate sweetness of Cardhu and Clynelish, warm, rounded Benrinnes, as well as Islay malts for that signature Johnnie Walker smokiness.
By the same token, Revival is a treasure trove of fascinating antique and vintage jewellery, with many pieces hailing from heritage jewellers of Paris, London and New York. Its impressive collection is meticulously curated by founder Brenda Kang, a former senior jewellery specialist at prestigious auction house Christie’s. “Many jewellery pieces we carry are embodiments of history, culture and artistry captured in classic, elegant designs that have stood the test of time,” says Kang at our tête-à-tête at Mandala Club. “In the face of modern industrialism and mass consumerism, it is my hope to introduce the essence and importance of unique design, sustainability, quality and craftsmanship through vintage and rare pieces.”
