Johnnie Walker Black Label Triple Cask Edition is a limited-edition whisky inspired by the lighter flavours and aromas found in the iconic Johnnie Walker Black Label. Only available in Dufry stores, this new whisky offers travellers a new and exceptional flavour experience.

Enthusiastic about the launch Roger Jackson, Commercial Director Europe & Middle East of Diageo Global Travel said: "We're delighted to release Johnnie Walker Black Label Triple Cask Edition as part of an exclusive partnership with Dufry stores. Shoppers are set to be inspired and excited by the instore tasting opportunities and knowledgeable staff who will explore the creation of this brilliant new blend with whisky fans."

The development of this rich, sweet and spicy Scotch has been led by Johnnie Walker Master Blender, Jim Beveridge, and expert blender, Chris Clark. This new expression has been crafted using a blend of malt and grain whiskies from distilleries such as Cardhu and Cameronbridge and has been finished in casks previously used to mature American bourbon, then Scotch Whisky and finally Caribbean pot still rum. The result is a wonderfully rich Scotch with layers of sweet vanilla and ginger aromas, with notes of exotic fruit and brown sugars. Johnnie Walker Black Label Triple Cask Edition will be exclusively available at Dufry, the world's leading travel retailer, and will be distributed in over 300 stores worldwide from May 2018.

Eduardo Heusi Pereira, Global Category Director Liquor, Confectionery & Tobacco said: "Johnnie Walker Black Label Triple Cask Edition is a marvellous addition to the portfolio of Johnnie Walker whiskies that are currently proudly stocked in our stores around the globe. We're excited to activate a number of vibrant touchpoints both instore and on online that will provide the opportunity for our shoppers to explore and get their hands on this lively new expression of Johnnie Walker Black Label. Exclusive to only Dufry stores, this makes the perfect unique gift for travellers."

Johnnie Walker Triple casks will be available globally from May, at a recommended price of 28 GBP for a 1L bottle.
