COUTURE EXPRESSION
SPRING
A celebration of renewal and transformation, Spring brings brightness drawn from a selection of rare whiskies including a 1985 Cragganmore, a rarely seen 1977 Caledonian and minerality from a treasured 1978 Port Ellen. Each Couture blend starts with a luxurious 'heart', featuring ghost whiskies from Brora and Port Dundas, highlighting the collection's rarity.

A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME AND FLAVOUR
Each blend from the Couture Expression elevates blending artistry into new dimensions through a seasonal interpretation, introducing a new expression of luxury in whisky.
These thoughtfully crafted Blended Scotch Whiskies contain precious liquid gold from some of our rarest and most adored distilleries, some of which no longer exist. The distilleries embody stories of perseverance and reinvention, discovery and courageous beginnings. And of course, dedication to artistic excellence. They also tell stories of a place, and of home – each one carrying the unique character of the individual place it was created. Together these stories and flavours intertwine and bring you on a journey you will never forget.
This exceptional whisky is inspired by what comes next, by never standing still and being able to reinvent one's self over time. The exhilaration of hope, joy and freedom that both Rousteing and Johnnie Walker have persevered through, delivering a whisky reminiscent of springtime, with refreshing floral notes and an air of anticipation.
For Johnnie Walker, there have been moments in our over two centuries of history that the brand has survived through, flourished after, and reinvented itself. World Wars, global economic crashes, trade wars, industry downturns, pandemics. The brand has emerged stronger each time: a reinvention.
Caledonian 1977, Cardhu, Clynelish 1983, Cragganmore 1985, Benrinnes 1988, Port Ellen 1978
From tenant farmers reinventing themselves as distillers, to distilleries rising from the ashes to distil again, the whiskies in the Spring Expression truly embody perseverance and reinvention. Their whiskies are individually wonderful, but when brought together they bring the freshness of springtime and the joy of new beginnings.
