Diageo has launched new limited edition drink Johnnie Walker Blenders' Batch Bourbon Cask & Rye Finish.

The new blend has been drawn from more than 200 whisky samples aged in first-fill bourbon casks and finished for up to six months in former rye casks.

The drink offers a sweet honey taste and features whiskies from five distilleries including Dufftown and the now closed Port Dundas.

Diageo's master blender Jim Beveridgesaid: “It's something that has been at the heart of Johnnie Walker from the very beginning and which has enabled us to consistently create perfect whiskies like Johnnie WalkerRed Label and Johnnie Walker Black Label for generations.

"What we're doing today is what we've done for almost 200 years, experimenting with flavours and flavour influences to make sure that the whisky we make every day is the very best it can be.”

"Johnnie Walker Blenders' Batch Bourbon Cask & Rye Finish is the perfect purchase for travellers looking for new and surprising taste experiences."

Johnnie Walker Blenders' Batch Bourbon Cask & Rye Finish will be available only in selected markets worldwide.

Diageo's global travel managing director Dayalan Nayager said: "Johnnie Walker Blenders' Batch Bourbon Cask & Rye Finish is the perfect purchase for travellers looking for new and surprising taste experiences, Johnnie Walker fans or those seeking to explore the category.

"Travellers are looking for brands that have discovery, authenticity, craftsmanship and real human stories behind them.”

The new drink contains an alcohol-by-volume (ABV) of 40%.
