THE JOHN WALKER LIMITED EDITION
A super rare Johnnie Walker, limited to only 330 bottles which was created in memory of the original John Walker himself. Known as the Founder’s Blend, it uses only whiskies that would have been familiar to John Walker in his lifetime, some of which come from distilleries that are now silent. Just nine distilleries in total contribute exquisitely-made whiskies, which are blended by hand using traditional methods and in extremely limited quantities, before being married together in a 100-year-old cask.
JOHNNIE WALKER KING GEORGE V
This special edition of Johnnie Walker Blue Label recreates the Johnnie Walker blending style in the time of King George V and celebrates the granting of a Royal Warrant to John Walker & Sons in 1934. This is a powerful, slow and exceptional blended whisky. This blend includes Port Ellen, a highly prized malt whose distillery no longer exists.
JOHNNIE WALKER ODYSSEY
This John Walker & Sons Odyssey is a rare triple malt and a modern interpretation of Alexander Walker’s nautical decanter bottle and blend of 1932. When gently pushed, the bottle rocks elegantly to and fro. The Johnnie Walker master blender searched a number of distilleries in Scotland for the three rare, hand picked single malts that have been carefully blended to create Odyssey. Further developed using Sir Alexander’s hand-written notes, Odyssey has been married in European oak casks to create an elegant and rich whisky.
JOHNNIE WALKER PRIVATE LABEL
This Johnnie Walker Private Label whisky is the first in a series of one-off, once-a year JWS Private Collection limited releases of small batch, remarkable blends by Master Blender Jim Beveridge. It is created from 29 unique casks and only 8,888 numbered bottles are available worldwide. This expression is a tribute to one of Johnnie Walker’s signature flavours – Smoke. This blend includes whiskies from the experimental Calculus casks. Their intense vanilla, caramel and rich fruitiness balance the Highland, Island and Islay smokiness.
