This initiative is part of the brand's commitment to recognizing and amplifying the bold steps of a new generation of artists, filmmakers and creators who are shaping the cultural future from their local identity outward.

Huellas Boricuas is an invitation to immerse yourself in Puerto Rico's artistic pulse, and through this campaign Johnnie Walker recognizes the contributions of three Puerto Ricans who have moved steadily forward in their respective industries: visual artist Nannette Mariela García, Puerto Rican filmmaker and producer Jean Paul Polo and noted mixologist Roberto Berdecia, creator of the new limited-edition cocktail: the Bad Johnnie.

"With Huellas Boricuas, we celebrate the journey of the progressive, creative spirit that defines Puerto Rico and expands across Latin America. This island has a unique pulse, and we want to honor those who walk with purpose and move our culture forward," said Janina Jahns, the brand's head of culture and entertainment for Latin America and the Caribbean.

These figures represent the unstoppable spirit of Latin America: talent that walks with purpose, that transforms, that leaves a mark.

The Bad Johnnie: A taste of progress

As part of the campaign, the brand introduced the Bad Johnnie, its new limited-edition cocktail that blends the character of Scotch whisky with tropical ingredients, coconut water and passion fruit, to create a refreshing, bold and deeply Latin mix.

  • Available exclusively through the summer, the Bad Johnnie is a liquid tribute to the evolution of Latin culture and to the power of the creative community that transforms the local into something universal.
