Possibly the most famous whisky in the world, Johnie Walker have honed their craft into a precision process that respects the many elements shaping a Scotch Whisky’s final flavour and character, including the type of grains and yeast used, the shape of the still, and the length of time it’s matured in the cask.
Only one in 10,000 casks – including some from long-closed ‘ghost’ distilleries – are hand-selected to craft this exceptionally smooth whisky.
A rich, deep, dark whisky to savour slowly after dark. Full bodied, with a richly winey, apple fruity and mouth watering start to delight the palate, backed by a long spicy intensity with a delicious black pepper note that really persists.

In 1830, the MacAskill brothers rowed across the Atlantic from the Isle of Eigg to the formidable shores of the Isle of Skye. There they ended one adventure and began another – Talisker.
The Talisker Xpedition Oak series is a new adventure entirely: a whisky shaped by nature. Talisker staves have travelled with renowned adventurist, James Aiken as he single-handedly traversed the same route travelled by the rowers of the exhilarating Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.

This is quite a problem to solve, but just doing without greeking text won't fix it.
