Johnnie Walker 18 Years [750ML]

Description

The Founder of the Johnnie Walker brand was John Walker, a grocer. Johnnie Walker is now owned by Diageo that originated in the Scottish burgh of Kilmarnock in East Ayrshire. After the death of John Walker in 1859, the brand was taken over by his son, Alexander Walker, who helped turn it into the global superpower that it is today. It is now the most widely distributed brand of blended Scotch whisky in the world, sold in almost every country.

Johnnie Walker 18 Years is a rebranded and repackaged Johnnie Walker Platinum Label. Platinum Label was an 18 Years blended whisky and nothing has changed in the whisky apart from the presentation of a new name and new packaging. It was created with the intention of being a gift, where the price range is above the classic Gold label and just behind the premium Blue Label.

Johnnie Walker Aged 18 Years is a terrific blended Scotch whisky that is masterfully blended together from a combination of up to 18 different whiskies. Cardhu, Glen Elgin, Auchroisk and Blair Athol among others. It was carefully crafted by master blender Jim Beveridge. This expression packs bags of creamy vanilla, vibrant fruit and runny honey, alongside soft wisps of smoke. Bottled at the standard 40% ABV.

TO THE EYE

Warm Amber. This amazing colour comes from the masterfully blended combination of up to 18 different whiskies from all over Scotland, matured in Johnnie Walker distillery for eighteen years.

TO THE NOSE

A wonderfully rich aroma, combining notes of rich, sweet fruit with hints of toffee and caramel.

TO THE TONGUE

A comforting mix of warming, malty cereal and smooth creamy vanilla, with fragrant notes of almond and tropical tangerine.

TO THE END

A lingering finish with hints of dark chocolate, citrus peel and a very light, aromatic smoke.
