DESCRIPTION
Johnnie Walker XR 21 is, as the name suggests, a 21 year old blended Scotch whisky. It commemorates the knighthood of Alexander Walker, the son of Jonnie Walker who inherited the business from his father and exported whisky around the former British Empire. Alexander Walker’s knighthood was earned in 1920 and received from King George V.
The whisky itself, being a “blended whisky”, comprises of malt and grain whiskies which have been aged in barrels for at least 21 years. In that respect, it seems positioned as a direct competitor of the, perhaps more well known, Royal Salute which is a 21 year old blended Scotch whisky produced by Chivas Regal.
Tasting Notes: oft peat emerges more strongly than on the nose, layered with dark chocolate, subtle dried fruit, spicy tobacco, and oak with soft wood smoke and sweet dark honey.
