Positioning itself at the heart of music, culture, and festivity, Johnnie Walker is making its mark during the music industry’s peak moment, aligning with cultural innovators and revitalizing the whisky segment.

The Go Go Highball – Sabrina Carpenter’s personal Johnnie Walker Black Label drink, inspired by a song from her newest album – was the focal point of the brand’s festivities over the major music weekend. Johnnie Walker commenced the awards weekend with flair, illuminating the Los Angeles skyline with large animations and holding an exclusive, Sabrina Carpenter-themed party at the famed Max and Helen’s on Larchmont Boulevard. This popular LA venue was converted into a dreamlike setting featuring cherry-inspired decorations and floral touches that mixed pop romance, fun glamour, and late-night luxury.

Johnnie Walker is featured as the exclusive spirits partner at several of the city’s most prominent, celebrity-filled pre- and post-celebration events throughout the weekend, establishing the Go Go Highball as the essential beverage for top music labels, nominees, and award winners.

In a playful tribute to Sabrina’s glittering fashion sense and the weekend’s red carpet elegance, Johnnie Walker has also designed a unique crystal-adorned Highball clutch bag as a weekend keepsake for brand associates.

For a limited duration in Los Angeles, in honor of this significant weekend, the Johnnie Walker Black Label Go Go Highball will also be offered to the public at selected bars like Melrose Umbrella, Roger Room, and Hotel Figueroa.
