Diageo continues to honor the women in its past and present — or, at least, it’s been trying to. This special edition of Johnnie Walker — dubbed Jane Walker — is probably the most visible of its recent releases. The previous Jane Walker release was just Johnnie Walker Black Label in a feminized bottle. This release, sometimes billed as “Jane Walker 2.0,” is an entirely different whisky. The new Jane Walker by Johnnie Walker limited edition blend heroes whisky from Cardhu — a nearly 200-year-old distillery in the heart of Speyside that flourished under the leadership of Elizabeth Cumming. This pioneering woman ultimately sold Cardhu to the Walker family in 1893, but played a significant role in the brand’s history. Now, with access to more than ten million casks of maturing whisky from distilleries across Scotland, [Master Blender] Emma Walker carries forward this tradition. The blend carries a 10 year old age statement.
