Introducing the Johnnie Walker Black Label Sherry Cask Finish Whisky, a fine and rich whisky from the renowned John Walker & Sons brand. This exceptional whisky stands as a testament to the growing trend of Scotch whiskies being aged in Sherry casks from Spain, diverging from the traditional Bourbon cask aging. This blend, typical of Johnnie Walker, combines grain and malt whiskies from several distinguished Scottish distilleries, including Cardhu, Blair Athol, and Strathmill, with a significant portion aged in Sherry casks.
The Sherry cask aging imparts a unique and rich flavor profile to this 12-year-old whisky. Originally exclusive to the Asian market, it is now available globally, allowing whisky aficionados worldwide to indulge in its distinctive taste. On the nose, it presents a fruity and sweet aroma with notes of vanilla, grain, red fruit, a hint of wood, and spices such as cinnamon and star anise. The palate is rich and complex, featuring Sherry, dry oak, soft tannins, peppery spice, vanilla, cereal malt, and red fruit.
This whisky offers both smokiness and a Sherry finish, making it an excellent choice for daily enjoyment. The moment it touches the tongue, it delivers a sweet yet refreshing lightness, followed by flavors reminiscent of green grapes, apples, pears, and honey water. The finish lingers with honey-like sweetness, dried fruit, and a touch of pepper spice, making for an overall delightful experience.
