John Walker Private Collection 2015 Looks To Be Simply One Awesome Scotch

As for what’s inside the refined packaging, a bold ‘Rare Fruit Character’ to match.  As the most recognizable brand of whiskey, Beveridge said they wanted to showcase a small batch blend of 29 bespoke and experimental casks to showcase various expressions of fruit styles from different regions.  The initial aromas, according to tasting notes, are fresh, grassy and crisp, then evolve into spicy dried West Highland citrus fruits balanced by sweet chocolate and vanilla notes provided by the American oak casks.  If you prefer a few drops of water, the whiskey becomes more floral in the nose.

As you would expect with a high-end blended whiskey, the texture, according to those behind it, is smooth and velvet-like that coats the palate before finishing with the warm and smoky impression John Walker & Sons is so well known for.  If you’re a Johnnie Walker faithful, a dram of this release is not to be missed.
