Taking it from the freezer, the whiskey is surprisingly fruity and floral on the nose. Usually the colder something is, the more muted the aromatics are. Medium-plus intensity nose with a mix of cherry and peaches. Not quite sweet smelling like in a pastry but more fresh like making a fruit salad. The Cardhu pedigree comes out with the white floral notes. There is also a little woodsy vanilla but no sense of smoke at all. John Walker’s son, Alexander (Alec), was instrumental in the success of the business, taking over when his father died in 1857. Alec had a modern vision and was able to significantly scale the business with the arrival of the 1860 Spirits Act which permitted large-scale whisky blending from more than one distillery.

Tasting Notes

White Walker is also chill-filtered and said to be best served cold. Chill filtered means that the whisky was set to a very low temperature, in this case 1.5* Celsius, and passed through filters. When whisky get very cold it has a tendency to become cloudy due to particles clumping together. Chill filtering ensures that when a whisky spends time in a freezer, it won’t come out hazy. Bottle Unlike the highly patronizing and ridiculous Jane Walker Limited Release, the White Walker is a completely new blended Scotch composed primarily of malts from Cardhu and Clynelish. Unusual for whiskeys, this blend is designed to be served cold from the freezer. While serving with a ice sphere will chill it down, the most ideal temperature for many whiskeys are in the 60-65 °F range. I’m a fan of what’s inside the bottle, but is it worth it? Let’s take a look at how much a bottle Johnnie Walker White Walker will cost you. As a note, prices will vary depending upon location and individual store.

Finally, during my second glass it hit me. This tasted just like a smore. Not one where the marshmallow gets a nice golden color. This was a marshmallow that was forged in the fire and had the charred outside to prove it. Snider, Mark (1 October 2018).
