Johnnie Walker will add a new Scotch aged exclusively in ex-bourbon, American white oak barrels to its portfolio as its first permanent release in 15 years, the brand announced today. The cross-cultural blend, named Johnnie Walker Black Cask Blended Scotch Whisky, is set to roll-out beginning March 1 and will be available exclusively in the U.S.
Johnnie Walker — owned by major spirits conglomerate Diageo — is billing Black Cask as “a mastery of whisky making that brings together the character of American whiskey refined through the craftsmanship of Scotland,” according to the release. “Inspired by these two worlds of whisky, Black Cask delivers a sweet new whisky experience that remains unmistakably Johnnie Walker.”
