It’s a great gift for the fun-loving and spontaneous father whose energy brightens up everyone’s day.

 

 

 

Johnnie Walker Black Label

Also known as the “Iconic Blend,” Johnnie Walker Black Label is recognized as the benchmark for all other deluxe Scotch blends.

This Scotch whisky is the perfect gift for the father who is a man of honor and tradition.

 

 

 

Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve

Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve, also known as the “Celebration Blend” is the perfect fit for indulgent celebrations. Known for its creamy smoothness, it opens with a luxurious burst of delicate nectar and gentle smokiness that develops into sweet fruits and deeper, velvety, honeyed tones before giving way to sublime, lingering whispers of smoke and oakiness in the finish. Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve is especially created to celebrate life’s momentous occasions, making it the perfect gift for the father who is always present in every milestone.
