THE HOUSE OF WALKER  
 



 
 

Welcome to the House of Walker as we take you on a journey of taste through the different blends from the Johnnie Walker family. Johnnie WalkerRed Label

Johnnie Walker Red Label was developed by brothers George and Alexander Walker in 1909. They blended a type of whisky which is more suited to mixing with soda than the heavier, more old-fashioned whiskies.

Today Johnnie Walker Red Label is the world's most popular whisky and is sold in more than 200 markets world-wide.

The character of Johnnie Walker Red Label is a robust and traditional Scotch, exuberant, sweet and smoky. The colour is bright reddish gold and is blended from in the region of 35 different whiskies. The palate gives a direct and fresh aroma, with a hint of vanilla and powerful smoky malt, finished with a hint of spice.


 

Johnnie Walker Black Label

Johnnie Walker Black Label evolved from Walker's Old Highland Whisky, which was originally blended by Alexander and George's father, Alexander Walker.

Alexander Walker's sons not only renamed the brand but also added its 12 year old age statement, making it one of the first Scotch whiskies to carry an age guarantee and creating a benchmark by which all deluxe whiskies are judged.

The character of Johnnie Walker Black Label is a deep, complex and flavourful Scotch that is silky and rich. Its colour is deep gold with orange-gold flints and it is blended from in the region of 40 different whiskies. The nose of Black Label is a complex of aromas - dry smokiness mixed with raisin sweetness freshened by orange zest and citrus oils. The palate should be smooth, with a deep challenging flavour, packed with rich smoky malt and peat. Sweet vanillas in the background should combine with the tang of burnt raisins. The finish should be long, dark and malt driven.


 

Johnnie Walker Gold Label

Gold Label is a superior deluxe 18-year-old blended Scotch whisky made from an exclusive selection of 15 different aged whiskies. The brand delivers an exceptionally smooth taste together with a richness of character and lasting finish.

Its colour should be rich gold with gold glints and its nose is full round and deep, with traces of soft raisins and toffee, fresh malt and light cream.

For an even more rewarding experience, try freezing the bottle of Gold Label and serve it straight. By chilling the liquid so much, its uniquely subtle fruit flavour and honey sweetness are beautifully enhanced. The rather indulgent act of drinking this divine whisky frozen is even better with chocolate - heaven indeed!


 

Johnnie Walker Blue Label

The most exceptional member of the Johnnie Walker blends, Blue Label is a combination of very rare whiskies and very rare blending skills.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label is made from some of the rarest malt and grain whiskies. Just a few casks from over seven million are hand picked by some of the finest blenders in the business. The result is a whisky with a velvety smooth mouth-feel that still gives an explosion of flavours on the palate.







 

Johnnie Walker Green Label

Johnnie Walker Green Label is a 15-year-old malt whisky made up from a combination of specially selected malts distilled only in the Highlands of Scotland. It brings a new taste dimension to the market, appealing to both deluxe and malt whisky drinkers. Its character distinguishes it from single malt whiskies, setting a new benchmark of excellence.

Green Label has a character that is deep, mellow and superbly integrated. Its colour is bright, mid-gold with amber lights and its nose is fresh and slightly fruity - fir tree and laurel bushes, with oranges and a touch of liquorice. After a while the aroma deepens and notes of vanilla, sandalwood and some sherry-wood emerge. The finish is fresh, swift and clean.


 

Johnnie Walker Swing

Johnnie Walker Swing was created for the 'golden age' of travel in the twenties and thirties when luxury liners carried high society passengers around the world. The Swing name derives from the rocking motion of the bottle, which swings to and fro on a convex base when gently pushed.

Swing has therefore been specially blended to reflect a perfect balance. It has a rich old gold colour and a nose of almost perfumed sweetness. It is smooth with a light freshness that covers a deeper fruitiness with some smoke and oak flavours. Unusually for a whisky it has no age statement.
