Today, I’m having a look at the new limited edition Johnnie Walker<\/a> Blenders\u2019 Batch Red Rye Finish\u00a0which is the first release from the highly anticipated and experimental\u00a0Blenders\u2019 Batch series.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The experimental blend has been created by the brand\u2019s small team of expert blenders, led by master blender Jim Beveridge, and is one of the results of ongoing experiments into flavour that take place at the brand\u2019s home in Scotland.<\/p>\n

Guy Escolme, Global Brand Director at Johnnie Walker<\/strong><\/a> said: \u201cOur blenders are constantly experimenting and this is an exciting time for the brand with the release of Red Rye Finish<\/strong>. The Johnnie Walker Blenders\u2019 Batch<\/strong> range lifts the lid on the skill and never-ending pursuit of flavour that drives the blending team<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

At any one time, there are hundreds of experiments into flavour being carried out by the Johnnie Walker<\/strong> <\/a>blenders\u00a0which include the study of distillation conditions, the types of wood and grain used, cask finishes and other elements of whisky-making in the pursuit of exceptional new flavours.<\/p>\n

Guy Escolme added: \u201cJim and his team have used the same skill and expertise in the creation of Red Rye Finish <\/strong>that underpins the creation of all our whiskies, every day, and this first release will be followed in time by Johnnie Walker<\/a> Blenders\u2019 Batch Bourbon Cask and Rye Finish<\/strong> and Johnnie Walker Blenders\u2019 Batch Triple Grain American Oak<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

To mark the release of the new blend, which can be enjoyed neat but also has a flavour profile designed to create perfect cocktails, Johnnie Walker<\/strong> <\/a>blender Emma Walker journeyed from Edinburgh to the home of the Manhattan<\/em> to see how RedRye Finish<\/strong> stacks up against its American cousins. Her adventure can be seen in a new film from Johnnie Walker<\/strong> entitled:\u00a0Blenders\u2019 Batch \u2013 Emma\u2019s Red Rye In New York.<\/em><\/p>\n
