Scotch whisky brand Johnnie Walker, in collaboration with creative agency Bulletproof, is launching an exclusive new series of Black Label bottles called the “Keep Walking City Collection” inspired by major cities around the world.

Noting that Generation Z identifies more with their city than their country, the whisky brand worked closely with creative agency Bulletproof to pay tribute to some of the world’s great cities and their local artists.

The limited edition bottles feature finely executed illustrations by five artists from five different countries, using AIR-INK. Made by Graviky Labs, this very special ink is made from capturing pollution generated by diesel generators, smokestacks and other sources of pollution using a device called Kaalink, derived from the Hindi word kaala, which means black. The carbon is filtered and mixed with other substances, resulting in the final black ink.

Using the white ceramic bottle of each bottle as a canvas, each artist expresses their love for their city through black line patterns, featuring recognizable monuments and other iconography representative of their city.

For example, Warsaw-based Polish street artist Alek Morawski celebrates the distinctive architecture of Poland’s capital, using his bottle as a map, while Spanish painter and sculptor Okuda San Miguel depicts the culture and nature that spills over into the streets of Madrid. Meanwhile, Gongkan from Bangkok turns to futuristic inspiration by illustrating the power and hope of the next generation. Contemporary Indian artist Shilo Shiv Suleman, meanwhile, turns to the more natural settings of her city, while muralist M. Hure celebrates the diversity of Istanbul’s inhabitants.
