Johnnie Walker Black Cask Scotch Whisky is a contemporary expression created under the direction of Master Blender Emma Walker. Inspired by the iconic Johnnie Walker Black Label, this release shifts the maturation emphasis toward American oak barrels that previously held bourbon, highlighting vanilla-driven smoothness while maintaining the balance and depth the Black Label family is known for.
These bourbon-seasoned casks, originally from Kentucky and later refined in Scotland, impart gentle sweetness, soft spice, and a rounder mouthfeel. The blend remains unmistakably Johnnie Walker in structure, but with a more pronounced oak-derived warmth designed for relaxed sipping and social occasions.
