JOHNNIE WALKER BACCARAT CRYSTAL DECANTER
When great achievements make people legendary, it is John Walker. The legend of a pioneer man, who takes his first steps on the path of world conquest, is told in every drop of The John Walker masterpiece. The alcohol inside can only be called by legend, which is The John Walker – The ultimate Scotch Whiskey line honoring Sir John Walker – the founder of the famous Johnnie Walker brand worldwide. John Walker is rich in many ways compared to the premium products of the whiskey world – at least in color, flavor and price. A limited edition blend of whiskey by Johnnie walker, created from the essence of JW’s origins from the Scottish distillery itself. But this essence is what’s last left of the factory, the Johnnie Walker Baccarat Crystal decanter version.
- Limited production version
Released towards the end of 2010, The John Walker is an ultra-premium expression of Johnie Walker Blue Label, crafted using some of the very oldest whiskies available from Diageo’s vast maturing stock – including some very old whiskies from distilleries long since closed including Cambus and Glen Albyn, alongside traditional Johnnie Walker cornerstones such as Cardhu and Talisker.
Limited production version only 45 bottles are released worldwide. Each bottle is bottled at a concentration of 40% ABV, with a volume of 700ml.
- Delicate design, characteristic flavor of 19th century whiskey
A unique, individually-numbered Baccarat crystal decanter that is hand blown, polished and engraved by one of only three Master-craftsmen in the world. No detail is left to chance, from the Baccarat cut crystal stopper to the 24 Carat Gold plated neck collar and travel stopper. Baccarat crystal decanter is displayed in a lacquer cabinet that takes 60 hours to make.
Appearance – Rich and viscous in the glass, hints at the smoothness to follow. Nose – The taste starts in sophisticated fashion with the richness of mature fruits slowly following from the more youthful aromas of fresh citrus. Palate – The initial burst of flavor is defined by a vanilla oak sweetness. Enormous body and elegant structure to the palate. Walker Speyside whiskies contribute to the amazing smoothness. These casks are designed to give the wonderful malty flavours, characteristic of the 19th Century whiskies. The underlying sweetness is unusually soft. Cambus grain whisky is the unifying force that binds the great Malt whiskies together in The John Walker. The Marrying process, the second maturation in small cask, small batch production gives a chance for these great, giant whiskies to work together seamlessly. Finally as the big, elegant flavours gradually evolve, there is a slowly emerging echo of smoke that finishes thisunique blend of rarely seen whiskies.
