Johnnie Walker is the most popular brand of whisky today ... and apparently that's true in 2049 too since they've partnered with the new movie, Blade Runner 2049. To celebrate their inclusion in the movie, the brand has released a limited edition "Johnnie Walker Black Label The Director's Cut" bottle and sent in these fun futuristic cocktails as well.
The Blade Runner 2049 movie comes out on October 6th, but the spirit is available now in limited quantities (only 39,000 bottles available world wide) from $89.99 USD for the 750 ml bottle.
