Johnnie Walker announced the U.S. release of the 18-year old Johnnie Walker Platinum Label® blended Scotch whisky.  Master Blender Jim Beveridge draws the whiskies in this blend from a limited number of casks, carefully selected from only twenty to twenty-five distilleries due to their exceptional character. The recommended serve for Johnnie Walker Platinum Label is neat or with a few drops of distilled water. The water unlocks the richness of the preciously crafted 18-year old whisky and releases a drange of aromas from tart tangerines to woody almonds and creates a deeply satisfying tangy and fruitful flavor profile. Johnnie Walker Platinum Label will be available nationwide this August with a suggested retail price of $110.
