Product Description

Johnnie Walker Platinum 750ml: The Original Presentation of Johnnie Walker’s 18-Year Blend

Johnnie Walker Platinum 750ml is the earlier Platinum Label presentation of the blended Scotch now sold as Johnnie Walker Aged 18 Years. Johnnie Walker introduced Platinum Label in the United States in 2013 and relaunched the same recipe under the Aged 18 Years name in 2017.

The blend combines malt and grain whiskies matured for at least 18 years. Johnnie Walker identifies components from distilleries including Blair Athol, Glen Elgin and Cardhu, selected to provide Highland spice, Speyside fruit, creaminess and restrained smoke.

The Platinum name and charcoal-gray package make this bottle a discontinued presentation, but not a different age category. It is bottled at 40% ABV in the 750ml format shown in this listing.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Sweet orchard fruit, almond, vanilla and gentle smoke are joined by soft spice and polished oak.

Palate: Creamy malt, dried fruit and dark chocolate develop with citrus, caramel, spice and a subtle smoky thread.

Finish: Long and smooth, with lingering fruit, cocoa, oak spice and quiet smoke.

Food Pairings

Pair with roast duck, glazed pork, aged cheese, toasted almonds or dark chocolate. Fruitcake and desserts with orange or caramel also complement the blend’s fruit and spice.

Serving Suggestions

Serve neat, add a small amount of water, or pour over one large cube. A tulip-shaped glass helps concentrate the fruit and smoke. Store the discontinued presentation upright in a stable, dark location.
