Johnnie Walker Aged 18 Years Old is an intensely rich and wildly indulgent Scotch that perfectly balances a
trilogy of flavours and textures - sweet fruit, creamy smoothness and warm spice. Our craftsmen have
handpicked whiskies slowly aged through 18 long years, with each passing season building layer upon layer of
flavour until every cask is ready to break open and bloom into life. The result is a wonderfully smooth whisky
with character shaped by the flow of time. At the heart of this whisky are flavours from iconic distilleries.
Breathe deeply to enjoy opulent spice from a distilleries such as Blair Athol in the Highlands. Experience a burst
of sweet fruit from Speyside distilleries like Glen Elgin and let the creaminess of Cardhu flow into a long,
sumptuous finish. Perfect to be enjoyed at home neat or on the rocks. Johnnie Walker 18 Years Old makes a
special gift for whisky enthusiasts, who highly appreciate balance of flavours and textures that are unrivalled.

Expert review:
Christopher Null
it’s restrained and mild, not the forward, in-your-face experience you get with Black Label. The body opens up with a lot more character. Those raisins and citrus notes are juicier and more evident, and the woody and peaty elements in the blend come forward more clearly too, particularly on the finish. The conclusion is lightly smoky, with touches of orange oil on the tongue.
