Johnnie Walker Gold Label The Centenary Blend 18 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky

Johnnie Walker Gold Label Centenary Blend is a blend of 15 different whiskies which each are all at least 18 years old. Johnnie Walker Gold Label Centenary Label was created by Sir Alexander Walker in 1920 to celebrate the founding of the company hundred years earlier. Although discontinued during the war due to shortage of blending stocks, the label was reintroduced in 1992, with a blend based upon the original blending notes left by Sir Alexander seventy-five years earlier. In 2009 the bottle and box where reshaped and available until 2013 when Centenary phased out in favour of the current NAS expression Gold Label Reserve. This is the second generation version, available from 2009 till 2013.

Johnnie Walker Gold Label The Centenary Blend 18 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Sensual aromatics at first yield pristinely clean, buttery grains, then dried grass and dried coconut notes seamlessly lead into more fruity scents. Delicate pear and ripe apple notes emerge, with a sublime smokiness that wafts throughout adding overall depth. A very sexy sniff that pretty much clocks the Scotch Whisky aroma wheel.

Palate: The palate delivers a powerful, sweet, spicy, gently smoky malt burst with pear and dried apricot emerging on the back palate. Excellent length. Impeccable balance.

Finish: Long, drying peppermint / honeycomb aftertaste.

Distillery Information

In 1857, Alexander Walker — Johnnie Walker’s eldest son — inherited the store and began improving its selection of single malt Scotch whiskies. In addition, Alexander had apprenticed with a tea merchant in Glasgow and there, had learned the art of blending tea. Under his stewardship, the House of Walker began blending whisky and bottling it in an iconic, square bottle adorned with a slanted label.
