Johnnie Walker - The John Walker - The Last Cask Whisky

Inspired by the founder, The John Walker is an elegant, triple matured Scotch crafted using rare whiskies from nine ancient distilleries that existed during the lifetime of our founder John Walker (1805-1857). This elegant and refined whisky expertly brings together rare expressions from the now silent “ghost” distilleries of Glen Albyn, Port Dundas and Cambus, along with six of Scotland’s most historic distilleries - Cameronbridge, Cardhu, Mortlach, Clynelish, Dailuaine and Talisker.

This unique whisky is triple matured. A long, first maturation in individual casks allows the specific flavours unique to each distillery to develop. A second maturation expertly combines the individual casks and flavours into separate single malt and grain vattings. Finally, these vattings are married together to create a wonderfully balanced blend.

This last step employs a bespoke marrying cask, made by coopers from oak staves over a century old. The time spent in this cask allows the layers of Visit DRINKiQ.com Enjoy The John Walker Responsibly.delicate flavour to mellow and integrate, creating remarkable depth and character.

However, in the expert opinion of Master Blender Jim Beveridge, the bespoke marrying cask utilised in the production of The John Walker will soon no longer bring the balance and depth of character that is so important for this elegant whisky.

Therefore, he has decided to withdraw it from use in the creation of The John Walker, meaning only one more batch will ever be released – The John Walker, Last Cask. This final batch will be limited to only 330 bottles.

To celebrate this last ever release of a whisky that has been such a special part of the Johnnie Walker portfolio for over a decade, The John Walker, Last Cask is beautifully presented in a handmade Baccarat crystal decanter, with a bespoke design by Hand Engraver of Glass to Her Majesty the Queen, Philip Lawson Johnston.
