Johnnie Walker John Walker & Sons Signature Blend Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Edition Blended Scotch Whisky
In stock
For eight years, Johnnie Walker and the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula One™ Team have forged a pioneering partnership. Two great leaders - always striving to be the best - each pushing the boundaries for the next innovation. The success of Vodafone McLaren Mercedes is in part due to the passion of Jenson Button, the 2009 FIA Formula One™ World Drivers Champion.
Constantly seeking new challenges, forging new steps and honing his race craft, Jenson embraces the Johnnie Walker 'Keep Walking' spirit. Now he has teamed up with Johnnie Walker Master Blender Jim Beveridge, to break new boundaries and bring you one of the most exclusive whiskies ever created. A blend so rare, only 25 bottles are available in the world. We are proud to share this history of two great leaders through the John Walker & Sons Signature Blend, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Edition.
The two century long tradition of Signature Blend is a supreme honour which is granted personally by the Master Blender only to a very few individuals who can count themselves as the greatest friends and closest confidants of Johnnie Walker. The crafting of this modern and innovative bespoke blend began with Jenson himself who worked with the Johnnie Walker House in Shanghai to develop his personal taste profile - selecting the flavours and scents that most appealed to his senses.
The excitement and dynamic progress of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes' Formula One™ cars is the inspiration behind the presentation of this unmatched blend. It is encased in carbon-fibre - the incredibly light but strong material that enables race car shells to withstand the rigours of racing - and cradled in a bed of ultra-light suede leather that echoes the covering of his custom-moulded driver's seat.
The John Walker & Sons Signature Blend, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Edition is presented alongside an actual wheel nut used on the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes cars during the 2011 Hungarian Grand Prix, which was won by Jenson Button on his 200th start - giving you ownership of a unique piece of motor-racing history.

Tasting Notes
Nose
On the nose, the John Walker & Sons Signature Blend, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Edition delivers an initial exotic fruitiness balanced by rich leather and tobacco aromas. Cloves and sandalwood slowly reveal themselves along with a herbal, almost minty, scent mingling with rosehip and ginger.
Palate
On the palate, a buttery sweetness is complemented by a burst of freshly-planed oak and coconut. Then a complex rich European Oak flavour starts to develop with a subtle spiciness and a hint of maritime smoke making themselves apparent.
Finish
The finish brings lasting wisps of smoke that envelop a peppery, sea spray character, tempered only by the enduring rich woodiness.
