Product description
Johnnie Walker has been the most popular blended Scotch whisky for years, in fact always, although in the "covid" year of 2020 its sales fell to 14.1 million cases.
Diageo, the brand's owner, closely follows market trends and immediately responded with new and increasingly attractive Johnnie Walker editions. One of them is the Johnnie Walker Black Label Sherry Finish presented here, an iconic 12-year-old blended whisky finished in sherry casks. The formula of this edition is built around Cardhu, Blair Athol, Clynelish, Caol Ila, Glenkinchie and Cameronbridge grain whiskies. Black Label Sherry Finish is a kind of continuation of the Black Label Sherry Edition from 2018, the latter, however, was composed mainly of components aged in sherry casks.
Nose: mild, plums, cherries, figs, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, cloves, a hint of nutmeg and a fleeting trace of smoke.
Palate: delicate sherry notes, multi-berry jam, raisins, vanilla pudding, milk chocolate, buttered toast, white pepper and a little oak.
Finish : quite long, with notes of vanilla, cinnamon, dried dark fruits and peat smoke in the background.
