On Tuesday, March 10, ¡HOLA! joined an evening defined by style, innovation, and the spirit of Scotch whisky. The event took place at Amazónico restaurant in the heart of Brickell, one of Miami’s most vibrant neighborhoods.
The so-called Magic City was one of the select locations chosen to introduce Johnnie Walker Black Cask, a new expression that retains the iconic character of Johnnie Walker Black Label while offering notable depth and richness. Born in Scotland and aged exclusively in Kentucky bourbon barrels, the whisky reflects the meeting of Scottish tradition and the influence of American whiskey.
The gathering brought together a select group of guests and whisky enthusiasts for a sensory experience led by Master Blender Dr. Emma Walker, one of the most influential figures shaping the contemporary evolution of Scotch whisky. Johnnie Walker Black Cask, created using specially selected whiskies from the heart of Johnnie Walker Black Label, reflects Walker’s approach to balancing heritage with innovation.
Throughout the evening, those attending with ¡HOLA! enjoyed Dr. Emma Walker’s vibrant personality, charisma, and deep expertise. Among the guests were notable figures from Miami’s social and business circles. In this sophisticated setting, attendees had the opportunity to explore Johnnie Walker Black Cask, distinguished by layered notes of creamy vanilla and rich caramel that lead to a smooth, balanced finish.
One of the highlights of the night was the Blender’s Lab, an interactive space where guests could experiment with different blends and create their own whisky. At stations featuring a variety of aromatic profiles such as fruity notes, honey, vanilla, and oak, participants explored the nuances of each component while crafting a personalized blend.
Another highlight of the evening was The Old Fashioned Bar, where attendees discovered which cocktail best matched their personality. The interactive twist quickly became one of the night’s favorite moments.
Guests also discovered just how versatile Johnnie Walker Black Cask can be, whether sipped neat, served over ice, or mixed into cocktails like the Old Fashioned or the Gold Rush. With notes of creamy vanilla and rich caramel, the whisky brings together Scottish craftsmanship and the influence of Kentucky bourbon barrels in a smooth, approachable style.
