Diageo’s Scotch whisky brand Johnnie Walker has released a new limited edition under the Johnnie Walker Blenders’ Batch series.

Named Johnnie Walker Blenders’ Batch Sherry Cask Finish, the new product is said to be the seventh release from this series.

Diageo Global Travel managing director Dayalan Nayager said: “This is a special launch for Diageo Global Travel because it’s exclusive to our customers. You won’t get your hands on this whisky anywhere else, making it the perfect purchase for travellers who want to gift something truly special.”

“Johnnie Walker Blenders’ Batch Sherry Cask Finish is a sweet and rich whisky.”

The company claims that the new product has been produced using whiskies from distilleries such as Blair Athol, Cardhu and Strathmill.

Johnnie Walker Blenders’ Batch Sherry Cask Finish is a 12-year aged dark whisky that offers sweet vanilla, smoke and raisin tastes, as well as a warming finish of dark chocolate.

Johnnie Walker blender Aimée Gibson said: “Johnnie Walker Blenders’ Batch whiskies are the result of bold experiments that push the boundaries of flavour.

“Taking inspiration from the element of sherry cask maturation in Johnnie Walker Black Label, I was intrigued by the rich and fruity element it brought to the blend. It inspired me to experiment with the sherry cask finish to awaken more of these fruity notes and to add a unique flavour dynamic.

“The outcome has been extraordinary; Johnnie Walker Blenders’ Batch Sherry Cask Finish is a sweet and rich whisky. It’s the perfect introduction for those who are new to Scotch whisky, but will also excite seasoned whisky lovers.”
