Product Information

The pivotal role of John Walker, the founder, and his transition from a farmer's son to a pioneering grocer. Diageo-owned blended Scotch whisky Johnnie Walker has renewed its focus on age statements by rebranding its Platinum Label edition as an 18-year-old expression. Johnnie Walker has replaced its Platinum Label expression with an 18-year-old age statement

At the upper end of their range is the Chivas Regal 18 Year Old expression crafted by Master Blender Colin Scott. This bottle is made with over 20 rare Scotch whiskies which have been aged for at least 18 years each before blending into this award-winning expression. Taking all the nuances of the 12yo, the 18yo is a much more refined and mature bottling. By 1920, Johnnie Walker had become a global brand selling blended whisky in 120 different countries, including the continual selling of whisky in North America illegally during the Prohibition era. In 1932 the Johnnie Walker Swing was released, marketed specifically toward North American consumers and travellers on trans-Atlantic liners. These bottles were designed with a convex base so that they would swing with the movement of the ocean liners. This convex base is still a feature of some Johnnie Walker bottles. As much as I love the JW18, the Chivas Regal 18 is a truly stunning blend. It’s got these wonderful fruity spiced flavours that really dance in your glass. For me, it’s got fantastic depth and nostalgically reminds me of my grandmother’s home made marmalade on toast. There’s a beautiful zing to this whisky but with adult-level spice and complexity.Johnnie Walker Aged 18 Years is presented in a newly-designed, “sophisticated” bottle with gold detailing.

Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. As the whisky market became more unstable during the 1920s and 1930s, Johnnie Walker amalgamated with Distillers Company Limited (DCL). On the palate however, I taste hints of crisp refreshing apples, with sweet pear and vanilla. There’s also a toffee like sweetness that comes through with a tang that reminds me of aniseed. I’m usually not much of a fan of this sort of flavour, but it brings an aromatic element to this dram which works nicely with the sweet fruitiness.

Previously known as ‘Platinum Label’ is blends whiskies from the Cardhu, Glen Elgin, Auchroisk, and Blair Athol distilleries. This decadent bottle is a real gem within their range, expressing the classic Johnnie Walker smokiness that weaves its way through their entire collection.

Yes, Johnnie Walker is a true Scotch whisky. Their blends are made from a mixture of malted barley or wheat, yeast and water in Scotland and aged for a minimum of three years. Their iconic range offers different blends, starting from their Red Label bottle – all the way up to their Blue Label bottle. (An age range of 3 to 60 years!)Diageo has released a short film depicting Beveridge looking for the “ultimate” 18-year-old blended Scotch to support the launch – see below. After being axed from the core range in 2012 just 6 years after its initial release, the Green Label was relaunched in 2016. The popularity of the Green Label was made apparent after a limited run of bottles were made available for its 10th anniversary and the positive response prompted its return to the core range. The Green Label is one of the three Johnnie Walkers to carry an age statement and for this bottling its 15 years.
