Johnnie Walker High Rye Blended Scotch Whisky

The Johnnie Walker High Rye Blended Scotch Whisky is a unique expression that combines Scotch whisky traditions with a high rye mash bill, making it stand out from typical blended Scotch offerings.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Big vanilla and pepper, with a touch of fruitiness—some describe it as banana-like, but more natural and starchy rather than artificial.

Palate: The rye influence is strong, delivering pepper, clove, and allspice upfront. This transitions into a juicy green apple sweetness, with a faint hint of smoke that wasn’t present on the nose.

Finish: Dry and spicy, with a nutty aftertaste. The blending is expertly done, capturing elements of both Scotch and rye whiskey styles.

This whisky is bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof) and is considered a versatile option, working well both neat and in cocktails
