Description
A characteristic sweetness subdues the presence of a sherry fruitiness and smoky and peat qualities. Delightfully smooth.
Johnnie Walker Swing is a complex and sophisticated whisky with perfumed sweetness originally created by Sir Alexander Walker during the golden age of travel on transatlantic voyages. It takes its namesake from the rounded, convex decanter in which this liquid gold resides - a tip of the cap to the days when whisky would 'swing' away on the captain's desk to the rocky pitching and rolling of the sea rhythm, so as not to tip with the currents.
Swing has only recently been re-released in limited numbers after its extreme scarcity in previous years. A sweet Scottish Whisky, Swing is not just defined by its charming and innovative bottle, but is also a refined and elegant whisky offering in its own right, blending up to 35 different Scottish Whiskies to gain its distinct character. The blend contains a high proportion of malts from Speyside, where the single malts are noted for their elegance and complexity. Complementing them are malts from the northern Highlands and Islay, adding richness, spice and weight. Some have been matured in sherry casks over several years to gain richness, while others are lighter and aromatic. The result is a luxurious flavor that's light in the foreground, with sweet mouth-watering depth developing on the palate.
"Created by Sir Alexander Walker in 1934, a global audience of sophisticated international travellers continue to recognise Swing as one of the most luxurious blends of Scotch whisky available, duty-free, proving that true quality is indeed timeless." - Johnniewalker.com
