Johnnie Walker launches a new extremely rare Scotch celebrating the fine art of whisky making - Johnnie Walker Masters of Flavour . This exceptional Scotch is crafted from the finest maturing whiskies in the Johnnie Walker reserves , all of the whiskies used to create Johnnie Walker Masters of Flavour are aged for at least 48 years and only 288 bottles will be released - an extremely limited run of an incredibly rare Scotch .
Johnnie Walker Master Blender Jim Beveridge says : “ It is fascinating to craft a Scotch that pays tribute to each of the four main steps in whisky making - malting , distilling , cask maturation and blending - to shine a light on how each craft contributes something very special to the extraordinary flavours that Scotch has to offer , from grain to glass .”
In one of his final releases before he retires at the end of the year , Jim brought together three masters of the whisky world who he has worked with over many years , Malt Master - Donna Anderson , Cask Master - James Carson and Distillation Master - Douglas Murray , to create something that paid tribute to the skill of whisky making .
“ This incredible blend showcases how masters of the art of whisky making combine generations of Scotch knowledge and craftmanship with their own expertise of malting , distillation , cask maturation and , of course , blending , to create a truly exceptional Scotch .”
Johnnie Walker Masters of Flavour is the third and final whisky in the Johnnie Walker Masters series of extremely rare Scotch .
The series includes last year ’ s incredible Johnnie Walker Master ’ s Ruby Reserve , a celebration of Jim Beveridge ’ s 30 years working in whisky . Before that , the John Walker Masters ’ Edition , was a whisky crafted using Scotch aged for a minimum of 50 years from distilleries that were operational during the lifetime of Johnnie Walker founder John Walker .
