Johnnie Walker Aged 18 Years is a blended Scotch built entirely from whiskies matured at least eighteen years. Once sold as Platinum Label, it draws opulent spice from Blair Athol in the Highlands, sweet Speyside fruit from Glen Elgin, and a creamy thread of Cardhu to tie it together. Bottled at 40%, it aims for a soft, layered pour rather than a hot one: soft spice moving through dark chocolate on the nose, richness over sweet fruit on the palate, and a long, creamy finish. This is an after-dinner Scotch serve it neat or with a single drop of water, and skip the ice that would mute the older casks.
