The launch event, held at Nairobi’s Karen Blixen centred Artificial Intelligence (AI) with a captivating keynote by Meta’s Regional Director for Africa, Enitan Denloye. In animating the AI theme, guests arrived to a welcome by an interactive avatar named Mr. Walker, embodying Johnnie Walker’s iconic striding man. The blending of AI with every aspect of the experience, highlighted the Blue Club’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional networking.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label is an exquisite blend made from some of Scotland’s rarest and most exceptional whiskies – only one in 10,000 casks contain whisky with sufficient quality and character to become part of Blue Label.  Opening with hazelnuts, sherry and oranges, it follows with ginger, sandalwood and dark chocolate. Honey emerges, with hints of pepper and dried fruit, finally finishing with a smooth smokiness. 

The Blue Club is poised to lead the way in shaping the future of exclusive networking and asserting Johnnie Walker Blue Label’s positioning as a leading luxury whisky brand.
