The John Walker & Sons Private Collection was first launched in 2014, and features small batch, limited releases blended from casks, which have been crafted by Johnnie Walker Master Blender Jim Beveridge and his team.

Commenting on the launch, Johnnie Walker Master Blender Jim Beveridge, said: “Whiskies aged for 28 years are rare, and very special. In our search to find the flavours and characteristics necessary for a rich, indulgent Scotch like Midnight Blend, we were very lucky to have access to some of the most mature reserves drawn from the four corners of Scotland. Each individual malt and grain used in the final whisky adds layers of flavour to the 28 Year Old Midnight Blend, leaving hints of fruit, sweet and spice and making it a wonderful final addition to the Private Collection.”

Limited to 3,888 bottles, John Walker & Sons Private Collection - 28 Year Old Midnight Blend, will be available later this month from specialist retailers, for a RRP of $750,00.
