Each blend is designed to form the foundation of exceptional Scotch cocktails and yet, like all the brand\u2019s classic whiskies, they can also be enjoyed straight up over ice.<\/p>\n<p>Johnnie Walker Blenders\u2019 Batch whiskies are the result of bold experiments that push the boundaries in flavour. Like Johnnie Walker Black Label, which was first borne out of flavour experiments more than a century ago and has since gone on to become a true icon of Scotch, these new whiskies are crafted by a small team of 12 passionate and skilled blenders, under the expert guidance of two-time Master Blender of the Year Jim Beveridge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-10 col-md-offset-1 col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"module-space\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-12\">\n<div class=\"image-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.diageo.com\/PR1346\/aws\/media\/4009\/aimee-gibson-jim-beveridge_blenders-batch-wine-cask-blend-cranberry-spritz-and-neat.jpg?crop=0,0.066650070533565683,0,0.089809974275993687&amp;cropmode=percentage&amp;width=1200&amp;heightratio=0.5625&amp;format=jpg&amp;quality=80&amp;rnd=131480394520000000\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Amy Gibson and Jim Beveridge cheers\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diageo.com\/PR1346\/aws\/media\/4009\/aimee-gibson-jim-beveridge_blenders-batch-wine-cask-blend-cranberry-spritz-and-neat.jpg?crop=0,0.066650070533565683,0,0.089809974275993687&amp;cropmode=percentage&amp;width=1200&amp;heightratio=0.5625&amp;format=jpg&amp;quality=80&amp;rnd=131480394520000000\" alt=\"Amy Gibson and Jim Beveridge cheers\"><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"module-space columns-module-space\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-10 col-md-offset-1 col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2\">\n<div class=\"text-container\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Johnnie Walker blender Aim\u00e9e Gibson led the development of Johnnie Walker Blenders\u2019 Batch Wine Cask Blend.

It is what elite mixologists strive to achieve when perfecting cocktails and it is what we, as whisky makers, have at the forefront of our thinking when experimenting and creating exciting new blends\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Master Blender Jim Beveridge said: \u201cAt Johnnie Walker, we know how to make exceptional Scotch. That was true when we first created Johnnie Walker Black Label over a hundred years ago and it is still true today. Our philosophy and our commitment to creating exceptional Scotch Whiskies is central to everything we do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur blenders are given free rein to take inspiration from anything and everything around them when making whisky: experiences they\u2019ve had, personal passions, sounds, and flavours. Their passion drives them to challenge the whisky-making status quo and to tap into other flavour cultures to create the best possible flavour combinations for all of our blends, every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>See more at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnniewalker.com\/en-gb\/\">https:\/\/www.johnniewalker.com\/en-gb\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Johnnie Walker, the world\u2019s biggest selling Scotch whisky is introducing Blenders\u2019 Batch Wine Cask Blend, Blenders\u2019 Batch Rum Cask Finish and Blenders\u2019 Batch Espresso Roast [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":25845,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2597,1,7099,7097],"tags":[1090,5041,742,832,3740],"class_list":["post-25842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-best-selling-brands-in-duty-free","category-latest-news","category-spirits","category-wines-spirits","tag-duty-free-whisky","tag-johnnie-walker-blenders-batch","tag-johnnie-walker-duty-free","tag-scotch-whisky","tag-striding-man-whisky-duty-free-whisky"],"acf":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25842"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25842\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
