Description

This is the 200th anniversary edition of the John Walker & Sons Private Collection, created by Master Blender Jim Beveridge. This 28-year-old blend is said to contain some of the rarest casks available, including 'ghost stocks' from long-closed distilleries such as Pittyvaich, Cambus, and Port Ellen. It is an exclusive and limited-edition blended Scotch whisky that celebrates the journey of John Walker & Sons, drawing inspiration from the exotic flavors of the 1820s when John Walker first opened his grocery store. The whisky is presented in a heavy decanter-style bottle within a large presentation case.
