Renowned Scotch whisky maker Johnnie Walker has many iconic vintages in its expansive back catalogue, but the John Walker and Sons collection stands apart as something truly special. Painstakingly crafted with the finest of ingredients and aged in rare casks to heighten their flavours, these luxurious whiskies embody the very best of the distiller’s work. 

Speaking of this illustrious line, Johnnie Walker master blender Jim Beveridge says, “The John Walker & Sons collection is the pinnacle of our work as whisky makers. Inspired by what has gone before us and dedicated to giving whisky lovers an experience like no other.” The latest expression of the collection – the John Walker & Sons Aged 21 Years – continues this storied legacy, building its lush flavours through the rare three-stage blending process using  21-year-old single malts from such iconic Speyside distilleries as Mortlach and Cardhu.
