PRE ORDER: Johnnie Walker Masters of Flavour 48 Years Old Scotch Whisky

From grain to glass, from the field to the four corners of the world - there is something in the simplicity of Scotch whisky that inspires the touch of an artisan.

In honor of the skilled craftspeople that make this miracle possible, Johnnie Walker Master Blender, Jim Beveridge and his small team of expert whisky makers, have created a whisky that is inspired by the skills of those who make great whisky possible.

Johnnie Walker Masters of Flavour celebrates the art of whisky making, shining a light on how each of the four main steps in the process - malting, distilling, cask maturation and then blending - contribute equally to creating extraordinary flavours from grain to glass. This blend showcases how four masters combine generations of Scotch knowledge and craftsmanship with their own expertise to create a truly exceptional Scotch.

Johnnie Walker Masters of Flavour is crafted using fleetingly rare whiskies from the four “ghost” distilleries of Port Dundas, Brora, Glen Albyn and Glenury Royal as well as rare expressions from the iconic distilleries of Cameronbridge, Blair Athol and Dalwhinnie, all aged for at least 48 years, presented in a beautiful Baccarat Crystal decanter and encased in a handmade wooden cabinet.

Tasting Notes:

On the nose, a soft and gentle smoke, reminiscent of seaweed and salty air, gives way to rich dried fruits. Notes of molasses linger with leather-bound books before smoke gently weaves back though the senses.

These aromas give way to rich fruit flavours bursting with currants before a gentle spice starts to build on the palate. Cinnamon-infused apples combine with star anise, crushed peppercorn and warming oak embers, enveloped in waves of baked caramel and rich butterscotch before culminating in a gentle and warming smoke in the finish.
