John Walker and Sons Voyager

John Walker & Sons Voyager created a whisky history when it launched it’s journey across the Asia Pacific. Over six months, this spectacular sailing yacht will travel to eight countries and nine ports on an epic journey which evokes the nautical and game changing heritage of John Walker & Sons, and celebrates the launch of the new, award winning triple malt, ODYSSEY. To recreate that journey, a yacht will be sailing to China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore and India on a journey which was inspired by the original trade routes pioneered when the Walker family whiskies left the corner store in Scotland and journeyed across the world, stopping at all major cities including Manila along the way.

At every port, a tale of progress from each city will be uploaded on the Around the World book, a modern recreation of Sir Alexander. ‘Around the World’ is a unique expression of a brand’s intent as a a travel guide to all the markets where Johnnie Walker was sold rather than talking about the specifics and principles of the brand. It commemorates one of Sir Alexander Walker’s greatest innovations – the creation of a remarkable decanter for use on luxury cruise liners which moved to match the motion of the sea.

At each port, Voyager will be the setting for a series of iconic events through which the most progressive individuals in Asia Pacific will be invited aboard to experience the pinnacle in luxury craftsmanship and celebrate the launch of ODYSSEY.

Finally the Voyager arrived in Manila and the spectacular event was held at Oceana in ’1930′s setting’ hosted by Bianca Valerio and David Celdran. It was set to honor four Filipinos game changer namely Joey Concepcion, Brillante Mendoza, Kenneth Cobonpue and Rhet Eala who have revolutionized their own industry. The evening made even more magical by the beautiful fireworks display. It was a celebration of spirit with curiosity, excitement and living life without boundaries.
