A 1 litre bottling of Johnnie Walker's X.R, an exceptional 21 year old blended Scotch whisky inspired by the hand-written notes of storied Johnnie Walker Master Blender Sir Alexander Walker II. Nose: Spiced apple, smoky oak and a little toasted brioche.

Palate: Herbal as it opens. This gives way to orange and lemon peels by the bucket-load, followed by another kick of smoky malt.

Finish: Wafts of Sherry-soaked raisins last and last.
