RARE CRAFT

AUGUST MAN’S MEN OF THE YEAR 2012 LAUREATE AND FILMMAKER OF THE MOMENT QUEK SHIO CHUAN IS AWARDED THE JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL 1-IN-10,000 RARE CRAFT HONOUR

In celebration of its 10th anniversary in 2018, August Man Malaysia, in collaboration with Johnnie Walker, went the extra mile for its Men of the Year Awards with the inauguration of four new, exclusive Johnnie Walker Blue Label 1-in-10,000 Awards – inspired by the exclusivity and the making of the Johnnie Walker Blue Label, the pinnacle blend of the Johnnie Walker stable of whiskies, where only 1 out of every 10,000 casks examined is found to have the elusive quality, character and flavour to deliver the whisky’s remarkable signature taste.

Capturing the cardinal vi ues of the Johnnie Walker heritage as well as the spirit of the “Striding Man” featured in the marque, the Johnnie Walker Blue Label 1-in-10,000 Awards recognise excellence across four different categories, namely Rare Cra – celebrating the master of his cra ; Rare Character – celebrating the man holding fast to the highest values and ethics; Rare Legacy – celebrating the individual who has made an impact on society; and Keep Walking – celebrating the entrepreneur who perseveres in the face of change, successfully turns around a business and goes from strength to strength.

Together with Johnnie Walker, August Man Malaysia took a retrospective look at its past decade of over 100 Men of the Year and discovered four special individuals who best epitomise the Johnnie Walker Blue Label 1-in-10,000 Awards, all of whom are guided by their passion, commitment and experience to raise the bar – for themselves and those around them, to grow and give back in equal measure.

Presented in conjunction with the 2018 Men of the Year Awards, the Johnnie Walker Blue Label 1-in-10,000 Awards are conceived to celebrate success and endeavour, in the hope of inspiring you to cha your own story. In this issue, we are proud to present you with the recipient of the Johnnie Walker Blue Label 1-in-10,000 Rare Cra Award - award-winning filmmaker and commercial director Quek Shio Chuan.
