Description
Johnnie Walker Aged 18 Years Whisky
Originally launched as simply Johnnie Walker Platinum Label, it was renamed to Aged 18 Years in mid 2017.
As the name would suggest, this is a whisky which is blended from hand-picked whiskies which have been cask aged for 18 years. This is an intensely rich Scotch, and features a combination (up to 18) of different whiskies, which are chosen for their specific depth of flavour and character inherent in the distillery. These include the likes of Cardhu, Glen Elgin, Auchroisk and Blair Athol.
Through each passing season of the ageing process, layers of complex flavours are built, the blending is then done by master blender Jim Beveridge, to ensure it meets the 'platinum' standard like its original name.
The aroma of this is truly indulgent, and brings rich, opulent spices. Joining this is a hint of chocolate, and a touch of smoke.
In the mouth there is a burst of sweetness from fruit which comes across in a decadent smooth mouth-feel. Floral notes, a touch of smoke, candied fruits and plump sultanas tantalise the taste-buds too.
The finish is long and sumptuous, with warming cinnamon and honey.
