Product History & Little-Known Facts

Originating from the revered Johnnie Walker family, the 18-Year-Old Platinum Label was introduced as a luxurious replacement to previous 18-year-old offerings, adding a contemporary twist to the brand’s historical range. Crafted under the watchful eye of Master Blender Dr Jim Beveridge, it incorporates whiskies from select Scottish distilleries, including those from the Speyside and Highland regions, to achieve its balanced flavour.

A lesser-known fact is that this particular blend was designed to mirror the nuanced profiles once reserved for private gatherings within the House of Walker. Its name, “Platinum,” signifies exclusivity and a touch of modern indulgence.
