The John Walker
The ultimate celebration of progress, celebrating the life of John Walker, who founded JOHNNIE WALKER Scotch Whisky. Hand-crafted in single barrel batches of only 330 bottles creating an exceptionally rare blend, from 9 hand selected unique casks, including precious liquid from Glen Albyn, Cambus and Mortlach distilleries.
Presented in a unique, individually numbered Baccarat crystal decanter which are handblown, polished and engraved by one of only three master craftsmen with the ability to create these decanters in the world. Adorned with a 24 carat gold plated neck collar and travel stopper.
THE JOHN WALKER™ has been created to capture the essence of the founder: powerful but quiet and elegant: Giant flavours, slowly unfolding with great dignity.
Controlled power and richness building finally to a crescendo and then, the elegant rich smoke bringing this to a close.
NOSE - Starts with the richness of mature fruits slowly following from the more youthful aromas of fresh citrus.
The unique scotch reserves of Walker give the Master Blender unrivalled choice. The extreme skill required by the Master blender to combine the small number of makes in the John Walker, just 9 whiskies, in this exquisite blend.
There are only three men in the world who have the expertise to craft each handblown Baccarat decanter and stopper. 11 layers of lacquer are applied to each solid wood presentation cabinet. Each exquisite cabinet takes over 60 hours of craftsmanship.
Made to order in handcrafted batches of only 330 bottles will mean limited global availability and only the most prestigious outlets in the world are offering THE JOHN WALKER™.

| BODY - Medium to full. Very smooth. PALATE - Many layered, the BLUE LABEL™ style extraordinary initial burst of flavor is defined by a vanilla oak sweetness, framed by the zest of hand selected Speyside whiskies. The underlying sweetness is unusually soft, and the marrying process gives a chance for these great, giant whiskies to intermingle and work together seamlessly. FINISH - As the big, elegant flavours gradually evolve, there is a slowly emerging echo of smoke that finishes this unique blend of rarely seen whiskies. |
