Johnnie Walker founder, John Walker, first opened the doors of a small grocery store 200 years ago in Kilmarnock that would go on to change the world of whisky forever. John Walker & Sons Bicentenary Blend is an exclusive whisky that celebrates this journey that began in 1820.

To create this limited and luxurious blend, Master Blender Jim Beveridge and his team of whisky makers have drawn inspiration from the thrilling flavours listed on an original inventory from John Walker’s store. Using this as a window into the world where John started, they have meticulously crafted a complex whisky with rich layers that re-imagines the kaleidoscope of exotic flavours that shaped our founder’s imagination. Rare and exceptional whiskies, including ghost stocks from the distilleries of Pittyvaich, Cambus and Port Ellen, all at least 28 years old, have been explored to craft a whisky that reimagines the exotic flavours of the 1820s. 

On the nose it’s a complex, rich whisky with layers of flavour 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. 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: A sweet spice lingers as the door closes behind you.

Carefully crafted by Master Distiller Jim Beveridge, this 18-year-old expression from Johnnie Walker contains up to 18 single malt and grain whiskies from some of Scotland’s most respected distilleries, all aged for at least 18 years before being married together and bottled at 40% abv. Formerly known as Platinum Label, this expression is an excellent choice for special occasions and celebrations.

This limited edition gift pack includes two Johnnie Walker branded tumblers with the iconic Striding Man adorning each one.

The nose is richly aromatic with sweet fruits and hints of caramel and toffee. The palate is warming and smooth with malty cereals and vanilla, alongside almonds and tropical fruits. The finish brings rich dark chocolate, citrus peel and a light aromatic smoke.
