If we remove from the statistics Indian blends composed with the participation of distillates produced from sugar molasses, Johnnie Walker will be the undisputed leader in the whisky category sales. Over the past few years, the brand's owner, the Diageo concern, has significantly expanded and diversified the offer, introducing about a dozen new versions of Johnnie Walker. Johnnie Walker 18 years old, also called Ultimate, debuted in 2017 as the successor to Platinum Label. It is a creation of the legendary master of the brand's blending, Jim Beveridge, based on 18 components, the main ones of which are Blair Athol, Cardhu, Glen Elgin and Auchroisk.
