Johnnie Walker 18 Yrs
Johnnie Walker 18 Years is a rich and smooth blended Scotch whisky, crafted with whiskies aged for at least 18 years. It offers a complex flavor profile with notes of fruit, almond, vanilla, and a hint of smoke.
Johnnie Walker 18 Years, previously known as Johnnie Walker Platinum Label, is an exceptional blended Scotch whisky created using a selection of up to 18 different single malt and grain whiskies, each matured for a minimum of 18 years. This meticulous blending process, overseen by Master Blender Jim Beveridge, results in a whisky with remarkable depth, complexity, and a smooth, well-rounded character. Expect layers of flavor, including notes of ripe fruit, fragrant almonds, warm vanilla, and a subtle hint of tropical tangerines, all balanced by a gentle smokiness. The long maturation in oak casks contributes to its rich, golden hue and a lingering, satisfying finish. Johnnie Walker 18 Years is a testament to the art of blending and is a perfect choice for special occasions or for savoring neat or on the rocks.
