Introduction
Johnnie Walker Black Label Triple Cask Edition is a limited-edition whisky inspired by the lighter flavours and aromas found in the iconic Johnnie Walker Black Label. This new whisky offers travellers a new and exceptional flavour experience.
The development of this rich, sweet and spicy Scotch has been led by Johnnie Walker Master Blender, Jim Beveridge, and expert blender, Chris Clark. This new expression has been crafted using a blend of malt and grain whiskies from distilleries such as Cardhu and Cameronbridge and has been finished in casks previously used to mature American bourbon, then Scotch whisky, and finally Caribbean pot still rum.
Johnnie Walker Black Label is sweetness wrapped in smoke. The gentle embrace of sweet fruit and creamy toffee with a crackling smoky finish. Add a dash of water or tonic to open up the flavours and enjoy with ice or without as you prefer. A splash of ginger beer adds a warming element. The smoky sweetness also lends itself to forming an ideal basis for newer cocktails like Johnnie & Peach or Johnnie & Elderflower.
Johnnie Walker Red Label is a fiery dance of subtle spice and fruitiness. Sweet smoke crackles with sparks of cinnamon, honey cascades over fresh fruit while pepper bursts through crisp apple. It’s ideally served with ice or with a splash of tonic or with lemonade and an orange wedge to perfectly compliment the fiery side to Johnnie Walker Red Label.

Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve is like honey wrapped in velvet where sweet cream is lightly kissed by vanilla spice. Add a dash of water or tonic to open up the flavours and enjoy with ice or without as you prefer. A splash of apple juice adds a lift of orchard freshness. The mellow sweetness also lends itself to forming an ideal basis for classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Whisky Sour.
