Johnnie Walker Black Cask Blended Scotch Whiskey 750ml

Johnnie Walker Black Cask Blended Scotch Whisky – 43% ABV | 750ml

Bold, smooth, and crafted to bridge the worlds of Scotch and American whiskey, Johnnie Walker Black Cask is a modern blended Scotch whisky designed around the richness of bourbon cask maturation. Bottled at 43% ABV in a 750ml format, this new permanent addition to the Johnnie Walker lineup delivers layered vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and subtle smoke in a fuller, sweeter style than the classic Black Label.

Process & Profile

Created by Master Blender Dr. Emma Walker, Johnnie Walker Black Cask is built using some of the key whiskies at the heart of Black Label, including spirit from Cameronbridge, Glen Elgin, and Roseisle distilleries. Unlike traditional Black Label, Black Cask is matured exclusively in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, emphasizing sweetness, warmth, and vanilla-driven richness. (Johnnie Walker)

This bourbon-barrel-focused maturation style creates a profile designed to appeal to both Scotch enthusiasts and American whiskey drinkers, while still preserving Johnnie Walker’s signature balance of fruit, spice, and gentle smoke. (Johnnie Walker)
