Johnnie Walker XR 21 ans

PREVIOUSLY FEATURED IN THE EXPLORER CLUB

Alexander Walker II was a master blender like his father and his grandfather before him, who devoted his life to making exceptional whiskies. In 1920, he received a knighthood from King George V for his services to the nation. Inspired by Sir Alexander’s own hand-written notes, XR 21 is blended from the exclusive Johnnie Walker reserve of rare whiskies, all of which have been matured for a full 21 years. The spectacular new design reflects the style of whisky decanters from the 1920s, a time period known as the Art Deco era. During this era, Walker served as the brand’s master blender.

This blend contains whiskies that are aged for a minimum of 21 years and drawn from extremely rare Johnnie Walker reserves. This includes some whiskies from distilleries that no longer exist. This rich and multi-layered blend is imbued with subtle vanilla and golden honey notes and has an incredibly smooth finish. It is best enjoyed neat in a tumbler, accompanied by chilled water.

Nose - Assured, balanced and elegant, it has intriguing layers of intensity that are both surprising and delightful. Sweet honey and tempered spices come cloaked in warming smoke.

Palate - Citrus zest, ripened tropical fruits and caramel swirl within hints of tobacco and raisins.

Finish - The long, smooth, soothing finish is complex and fascinating - a myriad of influences played out over a subtle tapestry of peatiness.

ABV - 40.0 %
