Product Description:
Johnnie Walker Swing is a classic Blended Scotch Whisky, renowned as much for its unique bottle as for its smooth flavour profile. Created in 1932 by Sir Alexander Walker II, Johnnie Walker's grandson, the distinctive bottle features a convex base allowing it to 'swing' back and forth without tipping over, designed for stability aboard luxury ocean liners during the golden age of travel. The blend itself is inspired by this era, offering a rich, smooth, and slightly sweeter style, often highlighting whiskies from the Speyside region.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Sweet and fragrant aromas with notes of heather honey, vanilla, perfumed floral hints, and gentle sherry influence (think dried fruits like raisins and figs), alongside subtle oak spice.
-
Palate: Smooth, mellow, and quite rich on the palate. Flavours of honey, toffee, vanilla cream, and sweet sherry fruitiness are balanced by light spices (like ginger and cinnamon) and a soft, underlying oakiness.
-
Finish: The finish is smooth and relatively long, leaving lingering traces of honeyed sweetness, gentle spice, and soft oak.
