Johnnie Walker Swing Scotch Whiskey
| Description: | Johnnie Walker Swing Blended Scotch Johnnie Walker Swing was originally created by Sir Alexander Walker, Master Blender par excellence and grandson of John Walker, during the golden age of travel in 1932.On transatlantic voyages, barmen desperately stowed loose bottles onto racks to prevent breakages caused by the unrelenting pitch and roll of stormy weather on the high seas. But one bottle rode the ocean waves like the most experienced of sailors, swinging elegantly back and forth and â in keeping with the Johnnie Walker philosophy â never losing its balance. Its unique glass decanter allows it to swing to and from on a convex base. And cradled within this bottle lay a blend of Scotch whisky with a light yet luxurious depth of flavor. Up to thirty-five individual whiskies are used in the creation of Swing, each carefully selected by the Master Blender, whose task it is to consistently reproduce the original character of the blend devised by Sir Alexander Walker. The blend contains a high proportion of malts from Speyside, where the single malts are noted for their elegance and complexity. Complementing them are malts from the northern Highlands and Islay, adding richness, spice and weight. Some have been matured in sherry casks over several years to gain richness, while others are lighter and aromatic. Johnnie Walker Swing Blended Scotch Whiskey Tasting Notes Nose: Loads of sweet honey, vanilla, sherry influence, sweet spices, a little bourbonny at the same time with even a hint of peat. Palate: Creamy on the palate with notes of oranges, apricots, barley sugars, plums and other dark fruits. Finish: Finish is short and ends with a slight bitter note. From its humble beginnings as a grocery and spirits shop, Johnnie Walker has grown to become of the whisky worlds most prestigious labels with its exquisite blends being sold in almost every country. What their product range lack in terms of diversity is more than made up for in terms of quality achieved by perfecting their blends over decades, ensuring that every bottle of their whisky contains only the best. Part of this select few is the Johnnie Walker Swing Blended Scotch Whisky, an expression inspired by the need for a whisky bottling that fared well on long transatlantic voyages. Blended primarily from a selection of Speyside single malts, the Scotch also makes use of smaller quantities of Islay and Highlands expressions for more superb depth and character. Each sip of this amber-colored whisky begins with an inviting nose of biscuits, barley, caramel, and floral notes, paving the way for a rich and sweet palate of freshly baked bread, buttered popcorn, sugar cane juice, honey, vanilla, butterscotch, and light peat smoke, wrapped up by a smooth finish of oak and sherry notes. Packaged in an elegant "rockable" bottle that gives the whisky its name, the Johnnie Walker Swing Blended Scotch Whisky offers a complex range of fabulous flavors that make it a worthy addition to any collection. |
