Johnnie Walker Ultimate is an 18 year old blended Scotch whisky, sitting above Black Label and Double Black in the Johnnie Walker range. Diageo’s blenders bring together malt and grain whiskies aged a minimum of eighteen years to build a smoother, more rounded style than the younger blends. It’s positioned as a whisky to sip slowly rather than mix, and suits anyone already familiar with Johnnie Walker who wants to step up the range for a special occasion or a gift.
