✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Johnnie Walker Excelsior is a legendary, ultra-rare expression within the world of blended Scotch whisky. Distilled in 1947 and matured for half a century before its bottling in 1997, this masterpiece represents the pinnacle of mid-20th-century Scottish distilling. The blend incorporates exceptionally rare malt and grain whiskies that underwent a slow, decades-long maturation in oak casks, culminating in a rich, complex spirit. It offers an evocative journey through time, featuring notes of deep rancio, dried dark fruits, old leather, polished mahogany, and a whisper of peat smoke. The history of Johnnie Walker, which began in a humble grocer's shop in Kilmarnock, reaches a monumental peak with this release, capturing a post-war distilling era that can never be replicated.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Historien om Johnnie Walker begyndte i 1820, da John Walker startede med at blende whisky i sin købmandsbutik i Kilmarnock. Siden da har mærket udviklet sig til verdens mest udbredte og berømte skotske whiskybrand. Huset, som i dag ejes af Diageo, forener enestående single malt- og grain-whiskyer fra alle fire hjørner af Skotland for at skabe en uovertruffen kompleksitet og balance. Med afsæt i århundreders blending-ekspertise står Johnnie Walker bag ikoniske nyskabelser som den firkantede flaske og den karakteristiske skrå etiket, foruden den berømte farvekodede serie, der spænder fra den røgede, fyldige Black Label til den eksklusive og sjældne Blue Label.
