Johnnie Walker Platinum Label 18 Year Old Blended Scotch took the reins from the original Platinum Label in 2013, which underwent a transformation in 2017. The rebranding included the introduction of an 18-year age statement, replacing the previous non-age statement (NAS) whisky. This blend is a meticulous combination of grain and malt whiskies sourced from a selection of 20 to 25 unique distilleries, with standouts like Cardhu, Caol Ila, and Glen Elgin in the mix, among others. The character of this premium blended Scotch leans towards the Speyside region, with just a subtle hint of Islay's peaty influence beneath the surface.
