Experimental
Johnnie Walker Blenders Batch Triple
Grain American Oak limited edition
released in the US.
 Johnnie
Walker Blenders Batch range is a series
of innovative and experimental whiskies
from the worlds best selling blended
Scotch whisky, and aims to push the
boundaries on what whiskies could taste
like.
Some of you may recall the Johnnie
Walker Blenders Batch Red Rye Finish
which was launched in the UK last year
and as its name suggests it was finished
in casks that previously held rye
whiskey imparting a nice touch of spicy
rye character to the Johnnie Walker
whisky.
It appears that Johnnie Walker Master
Blender Dr. Jim Beveridge and his team
of blenders have been busy experimenting
once again and they have just revealed the
Johnnie Walker Blenders Batch Triple
Grain American Oak, the first whisky in
the series to be released in the US and
as it is launching exclusively in the US
rather appropriately
it is the result of experiments focusing
on the influence of bourbon and rye
whiskey flavours on Scotch.
Johnnie Walker Blenders Batch Triple
Grain American Oak is inspired by the
time Beveridge spent working in Kentucky
blending bourbon and rye. Aged for at
least 10 years in American oak,
including bourbon casks, Johnnie Walker
Blenders Batch Triple Grain American Oak
has been crafted using three different
styles of grain whisky - wheat, barley
and corn, it is a blend of five whiskies
in total including grain from the now
closed Port Dundas grain whisky
distillery and malt from Cardhu and
Mortlach on Speyside. Johnnie Walker
tells me that this combination has
created a whisky that is uniquely
smooth, with notes of sweet fresh fruit
and gentle spice.
Johnnie
Walker Blenders Batch Triple Grain
American Oak is a limited edition
release and will be available in the US
with suggested retail price of $29.99
for a 750ml bottle while supplies last.
There are also additional whiskies
planned as part of the US program in the
near future so watch this space.
You will also find the current Johnnie
Walker whisky range available from specialist online whisky retailers such as
Master of
Malt
