This is (pic.) the “The John Walker”, the new Johnnie Walker’s product devoted to the brand’s founder and a new expression of the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Scotch whisky.
Officially, it will be presented in September, 2009 - in travel-retail with a
Diageo’s partner, the DFS Group.
But five bottles (from 330 crystal decanters) are already released. Bids starting at the recommended price of 3 000 dollars are accepted at
dfsgalleria.com and all gathered funds are to be transferred to “The Smile Train” fund.
It should be marked that “The John Walker” is a really exclusive whisky because the blend uses nine of finest distilleries (six malt and three grain whiskies) and some of them are already closed (such as Cambus and Glen Albyn).
