Johnnie Walker Swing 75cl - Bot. 1980's

Johnnie Walker has a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. It all started when John Walker opened his own grocery shop and began blending whisky to offer a more consistent quality to his customers. Over the years, the brand grew into one of the most recognisable names in the whisky industry, known for its unique flavours and innovative blends.

One of the brand's most special bottlings is the Johnnie Walker Swing, named after the unique, rocking bottle designed to stay upright on ships, even in rough ocean waves. This particular blend is an ode to the original 'swing' bottles that were popular in the golden age of travelling on ocean liners in the 1930s.

The Johnnie Walker Swing is both a piece of history and an exquisite dram, sure to surprise lovers of blended Scotch whisky with its a rich and complex flavour profile.

A soft, sweet aroma with hints of wood, spicy smoke and a hint of ripe fruit.

Taste

The flavour is balanced with a soft, rich sweetness reminiscent of caramel and vanilla, followed by a wave of spice and smoky undertones.

Finish

The finish is long and warm with an elegant smokiness that merges with the sweetness of toffee and a hint of sea air, a wink to its maritime heritage.
