John Walker & Sons XR 21 was created to honour this very special occasion. Inspired by Sir Alexanders own hand-written notes, it is blended from the exclusive Johnnie Walker reserve of rare whiskies, all of which have been matured for a full 21 years.
Assured, balanced and elegant, it has intriguing layers of intensity that are both surprising and delightful. Sweet honey and tempered spices come cloaked in warming smoke. Citrus zest, ripened tropical fruits and caramel swirl within hints of tobacco and raisins. The long, smooth, soothing finish is complex and fascinating - a myriad of influences played out over a subtle tapestry of peatiness.
XR 23 years old blended whisky includes whisky from Cragganomore and Linkwood as well as the now silent Glasgow grain distillery of Port Dundas.
The XR 23 Year Old is a well-spiced, wintery expression that brings indulgent notes of sticky toffee, Christmas cake, alcohol soaked raisins and subtle layers of vanilla that marry perfectly with cinnamon spice and gentle cardamom. This all comes packaged inside a stunning bottle and box that would look the part in any collection. A real delight.
