Johnnie Walker’s $3000 Blend

Scottish whisky makers Johnnie Walker have launched in Singapore a $3,000 blend available in the mall of the airport there. The John Walker is blended from casks from nine distilleries, including some from the company’s hoarded stocks from long-closed distilleries including malt whisky from Glen Albyn and grain whisky from Cambus (both closed in 1983). The whiskies have been blended and given a final final maturation in a 100 year-old wood cask. The product is sold in individually numbered hand-blown Baccarat decanters. Martin Moodie, who has been lucky enough to taste the product, comments on his blog:

That’s not difficult given a feather down softness that just melts in the mouth and a gentle creaminess given edge by a hint of smoke at the end.
