The most complex edition to date, 2016 is third bottling in the John Walker & Sons Private Collection series, continuing the themes of the incredibly limited Directors' Collection and offering these small batch editions of Johnnie Walker to a wider audience. This edition, titled 'Fine Honeyed Notes', focuses on the sweeter flavours within the Johnnie Walker range, with some of the 100 casks coming from four closed grain distilleries – Caledonian, Cambus, Carsebridge and Port Dundas.

Relaxed and easy-going. Tingling layers of exotic fruits, sweetness and spice. Finished in whisky casks conditioned by maturing Caribbean pot still rum.  This deliciously smooth whisky is the result of a series of experiments into carefully finishing Scotch in casks that previously held rum.  Sip on the rocks or try long with coke and a twist of fresh lime.

JOHNNIE WALKER EXCELSIOR

All limited edition bottlings are sought-after, but the Johnnie Walker Excelsior is in a class of its own. Distilled in 1947, then bottled a half-century later, we're talking about a truly remarkable whisky.
