Johnnie Walker Master Blender Jim Beveridge has selected 29 casks from his private reserve to become the John Walker & Sons 2014 Edition, an exquisite series of high quality whiskey. The series of annual limited releases of excellent Blended Scotch Whiskies are a testament to the innovative spirit and supreme craftsmanship of the blenders at the world’s most prestigious Scotch Whiskey house – and with only 8,888 decanters to be released worldwide, each piece will certainly find its way in the collection of a true Johnnie Walker aficionado.
Each individually numbered decanter (a sign of its rare, exclusive nature) is made from elegant, eye-catching dark blue glass – though the true prize is inside the container. The intense vanilla, caramel and a dark and rich fruitiness gives the blend balance and depth, while allowing the smoky notes to make their presence felt.
According to Jim Beveridge himself, “the 2014 Edition is a sophisticated expression of the smoky flavour characteristics from three celebrated whisky regions of Scotland: bold and peaty Islay smoke, fresh maritime Island smoke, and a sweet, subtle Highland smoke.”
