Created by master blender Jim Beveridge, the new Johnnie Walker Aged 18 Years release is described as a "complex and smooth” combination of "up to 18 different whiskies” from the main producing regions in Scotland.

The expression is intended to be drunk neat or on the rocks, and offers "rich sweet fruit, toffee, caramel and vanilla” aromas with a "hint of smoke”, while on the palate given notes include dark fruits, cereal, vanilla, almonds, tangerines and a gentle smoke.

Johnnie Walker Aged 18 Years is presented in a newly-designed, "sophisticated” bottle with gold detailing.
