• TASTING NOTES
• 
  
• Nose: A complex, rich whisky with layers of flavor in which an array of fruit aromas come together in harmony, balanced with warming spices and a soft, rolling smoke redolent of the rich array of exotic goods on offer. Dried fruit such as sultanas and figs are sweetened by hints of candied ginger, before berries, brown sugar and aromatic spices fill up the senses.
• 
  
• Palate: The first sip opens the doors to reveal delicious layers of spice mingling with sweet honey and rich molasses inspired by the rows of tempting jars. Waves of sultanas, cocoa beans and herbal notes are carried on wisps of soft smoke leading you further down the aisles of John’s store with every sip.
• 
  
• Finish: Port Ellen gives a coastal smokiness that gathers momentum through the long finish. A sweet spice lingers as the door closes behind you.

  Keep Walking - In 1820, the young farmer’s son started his own grocer’s shop in the thriving town of Kilmarnock. His father had died the year before and the farm sold. It was a tough start in life, but there was always something special about John. A glint in his eye. A fire in his belly. For over two centuries Johnnie Walker has been committed to a spirit of progress, inspiring people to Keep Walking towards a more positive future. Our latest global campaign 'Keep Walking' reflects the energy, words and thoughts of cultural icons and pioneers who share this positive spirit. © Diageo 2024
