Whisky Johnnie Walker Platinum Label lt. 0,70 - Aged 18 years

Product Information

In the Scotch-drinking world, there are all sorts of myths and sayings about how the whisky-drinking elite consume their beverage of choice. But when it comes down to it, you should drink your whisky in the way that works for you. The Johnnie Walker Platinum Label whisky was the first new ‘colour’ to be released in many years, and it was initially introduced only into the travel retail. This release was brought out to replace the iconic Johnnie Walker Gold Label whisky and fits in next to the Johnnie Walker Blue Label. With a mix of malts around 18 years old, it is Diageo’s competing product in the 18 yo single malt market. Johnne Walker’s Gold Label Reserve is an award winning blend, made of vibrant whiskies chosen for their sweet and honeyed qualities. It’s a vibrant and tropical quaff with smooth, creamy vanilla notes, a perfect balance of sweet fruits and creaminess, and just a hint of smoke to finish it off. How many years is Johnnie Walker Gold Label aged?

And the expressions don’t stop with the core range. Dr. Jim Beveridge and his blending team are big on innovation. They’ve introduced the ultra-premium John Walker & Sons line, which includes XR 21 Years Old, Odyssey, King George V and The John Walker exclusive blends collection to take advantage of the ultra-premium travel retail segment. And a host of limited-time releases, including White Walker — a Game of Thrones edition released during the final season of the HBO series — and Jane Walker — a blended scotch product blended by Emma Walker and championing Cardhu single malt, which is run by Elizabeth Cumming. Flavor Profile Johnnie Walker Platinum 18 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky The illustrious Johnnie Walker Blue is the brand’s premium blend. This one contains some very old and rare whiskies and tastes a little bit smoky, a little bit sweet, with notes of soft sherry, honey, toffee, and barley. It’s almost dangerously easy to drink—and one of the most coveted whiskies around.We deliver to a number of international destinations including the USA. Please use the 'Change Location' link above for an estimate in your local currency or find out more about international delivery I have chosen up to 18 different whiskies with remarkable flavours and character, including classic Speyside malts, such as Cardhu, Glen Elgin and Auchroisk for their sweetness and elegance; fruity and complex Highland malts including Blair Athol and beautifully aged island malts that enable me to introduce such a subtle smokiness.” There are five classifications of scotch whisky: single malt scotch, single grain scotch, blended scotch, blended malt scotch and blended grain scotch. Single malt scotch whisky products must be made from 100 percent malted barley. Single grain scotch whisky products can be made from various grains, a proportion of which will contain malted barley. The ‘single’ in both single malt and single grain is not a reference to the mash bill but an indicator that the whisky was made at a single distillery. Johnnie Walker Gold, a blend of 15 whiskies, is the ideal smooth whisky to sip slowly in the evening, preferably in a tuxedo. It errs on the side of sweet with vanilla and caramel flavors as well as honey notes.

The Johnnie Walker Gold Label whisky brings notes of barley, apricot jam and cinnamon. A fruity sweetness with creamy oak. The Johnnie Walker Platinum Label whisky brings brandy-soaked fruit, orange and light smoke. The finish on the Gold Label is longer and more satisfactory than on the Platinum Label. In September 2021, Diageo launched the Johnnie Walker Experience building in Edinburgh to take advantage of the growing scotch tourism trend. However, readers should note this is not an active production facility but rather an immersive multimedia experience used as an educational tool to educate guests about the brand’s history and tradition. Maturation Palate — Malty, vanilla and oak, oily mouthfeel with tobacco, cinnamon, raisins notes and lingering medicinal smoke. Buttery. Malt and barley with hints of smoke, oaky spices and sun dried grass. Rich and complex with a fruity sweetness. Apples and cinnamon hints balanced with fresh flowers.If one were to nudge ahead slightly, it would be the Johnnie Walker Gold Label 18 yo whisky. I found the Gold Label richer and somewhat more complex, with an outstanding balance. The Platinum Label is easier to drink and more approachable.
