Blend

In the Johnnie Walker Ghost and Rare series, Dr. Jim Beveridge combines malts from distilleries that have long been closed with other malt and Grain whiskies. The fifth edition focuses on the distillery character of Port Dundas and how it unfolds through slow maturation. The distillery in the Lowlands was built in 1811 and was known for its distinctive sweet and delicate grain character of Grain whiskies until its closure in 2010. For this bottling, a total of eight of the rarest whiskies from Johnnie Walker's stocks are blended together and matured in 2nd Fill American Oak and 1st Fill Highly Charred American Oak casks. The whiskies come from the Port Dundas distillery, Cameronbridge, Glenkinchie, Clynelish, Dailuaine, Auchroisk, Cambus and Brora.

The Johnnie Walker Blue Label also contains very old malt whiskies. It belongs to the absolute top and can compete with any Single Malt. 80% malt content speaks for an incomparable complexity of flavours. At the same time, it remains soft, warm and mild. The Cities of the Future series was designed in collaboration with the artist Luke Hals. Each bottle bears an image of the future of the metropolises Berlin, London or Mars on the label.

The Old St. Andrews contains at least a ten year old Blend, matured in American white oak casks, it makes an excellent gift.

The whisky barrel replica is an eye-catcher for any collection!

The special edition of Johnnie Walker Blue Label 'Year of the Dragon' is themed around the Chinese New Year, which begins on 22 January 2024. The illustrations were created by Asian-American artist James Jean, who has received numerous awards for his creative work. Exclusive Johnnie Walker whiskies were combined for the bottling and very rare casks from distilleries that have long since closed (so-called ghost distilleries) were used for maturation.

Blending is highly valued these days. The many possibilities for innovation and flavour development give the balanced creations of Alasdair and Gordon Stevenson that certain something. The Turntable Bittersweet Symphony is aimed at all friends of spirited sweetness and distinctive malt notes. For this composition, full-bodied Single Malt from the Speyside distillery Craigellachie, matured in sherry casks, was used as the basis. It is rounded off by Balmenach Single Malt from the Pedro Ximénez Puncheon as well as whiskies from North British and Blair Athol from Virgin Oak barrels. It comes neither coloured nor chill-filtered in the modern bottles. The bottling belongs to the recently released standard range of the Stevenson brothers, who are the founders behind the Turntable Blending House.

The Aikan Intense Rhum Barrels are matured using a special process. The Blend of Pot Still distilled Malt Whisky and Column Still distilled Grain Whisky, both of Scottish origin, is first matured for at least 3 years predominantly in Bourbon casks from Kentucky in Scotland. After this first phase of maturation, the casks are shipped to the Caribbean, to Martinique, and refined for at least one more year in 'Grand Arôme' rum casks and oak barrels specially designed for Aikan by French cooperages. The 'Grand Arôme' stands for the typical Martinique 'High Ester' rums made from unsweetened molasses. The Aikan brand pursues the goal of bringing together two continents (Europe and America), two climate zones (continental and tropical) and two worlds of spirits (whisky and rum). The word Aikan stands for "wedding" in Arawak, the language of the indigenous people of Martinique.

The Johnnie Walker Blue Label Umami flirts with the enigmatic umami character usually associated with culinary delicacies from first-class restaurants. The umami character is often described as the 'fifth Taste'.

Master Blender Emma Walker was supported for this special bottling by 3-star chef Kei Kobayashi, who usually combines Japanese culinary art with French culinary art in his dishes and restaurants. Together, they brought together rare and hand-picked whiskies from inland and coastal regions of Scotland until the sweet and sour, complex and deep umami character with its meaty facets of this Johnnie Walker blended whisky was achieved.

In Scotch, a "Deacon" is a skilled and competent craftsman. The Scotch whisky portions in this blended whisky come from Islay and from distilleries on the Scottish mainland. They are not named, but are distilled in copper Pot Stills, which the design of the bottle is also reminiscent of.

The Turntable Paradise Funk is aimed at all friends of exotic fruit notes with sweetish accents. For this composition, a "mystery malt" from Speyside was used and skilfully blended with portions of full-bodied Benrinnes Single Malt, fruity-mild whisky from the small Knockdhu Distillery, some Blair-Athol spice as well as Grain whiskies from Invergordon and North British. It comes neither coloured nor chill-filtered in the modern bottles.

The Black Forêt is a blend of various Single Malt distillates from the Black Forest. The distillates used matured in ex-Bourbon, German oak and chestnut barrels, among others, and thus reflect the Black Forest region. In terms of production and distribution, the company works closely with the well-known Kammer-Kirsch distillery in Karlsruhe.
