JOHNNIE WALKER LAUNCHES BLACK CASK, A NEW, PERMANENT SCOTCH WHISKY EXPRESSION AGED EXCLUSIVELY IN AMERICAN WHITE OAK EX-BOURBON BARRELS
NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Johnnie Walker, the world’s number one Scotch whisky brand, launches Johnnie Walker Black Cask Blended Scotch Whisky, a mastery of whisky making that brings together the character of American whiskey refined through the craftsmanship of Scotland. Inspired by these two worlds of whisky, Black Cask delivers a sweet new whisky experience that remains unmistakably Johnnie Walker.
For more than two centuries, Johnnie Walker has shaped global whisky culture, consistently redefining quality, innovation, and modern whisky enjoyment. Johnnie Walker Black Cask continues that legacy, reinforcing the brand’s position as a leader in taste, craft, and discovery.
Expertly Crafted by Master Blender Dr. Emma Walker
Led by Master Blender Dr. Emma Walker, Johnnie Walker Black Cask features the brightest, specially selected whiskies at the heart of Johnnie Walker Black Label, including those from Cameronbridge, Glen Elgin, and Roseisle. These exceptional whiskies are aged exclusively in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, revealing layered notes of creamy vanilla sweetness, rich caramel depth, gentle spice, and smooth oak warmth.
„At Johnnie Walker we are constantly pushing the boundaries of what great whisky can be. For more than 200 years, Johnnie Walker has shaped the world of Scotch, and that heritage gives us the confidence and authority to innovate. With Black Cask, we’ve brought together two remarkable whisky traditions in a way only Johnnie Walker can, starting with some of the most expressive whiskies from the heart of Black Label and maturing them exclusively in American white oak ex–bourbon barrels to unlock new depth, sweetness, and warmth. The result is a beautifully layered whisky that feels excitingly new yet remains unmistakably Johnnie Walker.“
Dr. Emma Walker
