The whisky comes in a distinctive bottle with a gold and black label, and it is often considered a premium offering from the Johnnie Walker brand.

John Walker & Sons XR21 was created by Alexander Walker II, a master blender. Just like his father and grandfather before him, he devoted his life to making exceptional whiskies. Like all of the other whisky from this top whisky brand, the John Walker and Sons XR 21 is assured, balanced and elegant, it has intriguing layers of intensity that are both surprising and delightful. In 1920, whisky crater Alexander Walker II received a knighthood from King George V for his services to the nation and his devotion to creating exceptional whiskies. The Johnnie Walker and Sons XR 21 was created to honour this very special occasion. Inspired by Sir Alexander’s own hand-written notes, it is blended from the exclusive Johnnie Walker reserve of rare whiskies, all of which have been matured for a full 21 years. A sweet creamy core of rare Port Dundas is blended and married first. Then, whiskies that have been matured in American oak are added to add and nurture sweetness in the blend. Aged single malts are then added to the mix so that layers of rich fruit and malty flavours are encouraged and enhanced. The exquisitely designed bottle of this John Walker & Sons XR 21 year old blended Scotch whisky comes with a bottle stopper that resembles a crown, which is a sign of knowledge and thoughtfulness that has resulted in the production of this top whisky.

With the highest age statement in the XR collection, this 23-year-old whisky offers an elegantly floral flavor profile, featuring notes of orchid, a hint of spiced apple, and sweet coconut. This blossoming of flavor celebrates the delicate power and beauty of the famed peony and orchid of Asia.
