Since Master Blender John Rhea took the reins at Kentucky Owl in 2021, the brand has been on a mission to prove itself. Under Rhea's leadership, Kentucky Owl has introduced new expressions and a range of limited edition offerings. However, the heart and soul of the brand remains their core bourbon, now represented by Batch #12.

For Batch #12, Rhea expertly combines 7-to-14-year-old bourbons with two distinct four-year-old bourbons. While concerns may arise about the younger spirits overshadowing the older ones, once the bottle is opened, those worries dissipate.

As the bourbon cascades into the glass, a captivating medley of aromas fills the air—sweet cornbread, nutmeg, brown sugar, and a subtle nuttiness. Soon, notes of figs and orange blossom join the ensemble, accompanied by hints of wet newspaper and lipstick. On the palate, flavors of cornbread, butterscotch, and baking spice emerge, along with a tantalizing hint of strawberry licorice reminiscent of Twizzlers candy. This fleeting sensation teases the tongue before giving way to the aforementioned robust flavors.

Despite the initial promise of the aroma, the mouthfeel remains moderate, and the midpalate seems somewhat muted, preventing the well-developed flavors from fully reaching their potential.

The history of Johnnie Walker Swing dates back to the early 1930s when Sir Alexander Walker, the grandson of the brand's founder, was inspired by the elegant and rhythmic motion of a swinging golf club. He sought to create a whisky that embodied the same smoothness and flow as a golf swing, leading to the birth of Johnnie Walker Swing.

One of the most distinguishing features of Johnnie Walker Swing is its unique bottle design. The bottle has an ergonomic shape, which allows it to rock back and forth without tipping over. This design was an innovative way to serve whisky on board cruise ships and trains, where the rolling motion could make it challenging to keep conventional bottles steady. The elegant bottle design, combined with the smoothness of the whisky inside, made it a popular choice for travelers and whisky enthusiasts alike.

Johnnie Walker Swing is a blend of carefully selected Scotch whiskies from various distilleries across Scotland. Each component brings its own character and flavor to the final blend. The exact composition of the blend is a closely guarded secret, known only to a select few master blenders at Johnnie Walker.

When it comes to the taste, Johnnie Walker Swing offers a rich and balanced profile. Its smooth and mellow character is complemented by sweet notes of honey, caramel, and vanilla, along with hints of dried fruit and spice. The whisky has a delightful warmth that gently caresses the palate, making it a pleasure to savor.

Since its introduction, Johnnie Walker Swing has earned numerous awards and accolades, solidifying its position as a premium Scotch whisky. It's often enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, allowing its intricate flavors to shine without overwhelming the senses.

As with many other Johnnie Walker expressions, the Swing whisky comes in different variants to cater to various markets and preferences. While the core blend remains consistent, some limited editions or regional releases may offer unique twists on the classic recipe.

About the Brand

In 1862, Dupré Barbancourt founded a rum distillery in Haiti bearing his name. He applied the traditional French distillation method to sugar cane juice and the aging process in oak barrels from Limousin, as practiced in the production of cognac in his native Charente. The grand specificity of Rhum Barbancourt comes from its use of sugar cane juice (excluding molasses, a residue from the sugar-refining process which is used by other rums from the region). Sugar cane juice has a much richer flavor (wider diversity of aromas) than molasses, and that difference in the raw material distilled translates in the taste of the distilled rum.

To ensure freshness, sugar canes harvested from a 600-hectare plantation are delivered directly to the distillery. Half of it (those growing in fields around or close to the distillery) reach it by mules only. The other half (coming from other parts of the islands) are transported by mules to the tractor, then on the tractor cart to the distillery. The canes are immediately crushed to obtain sugar cane juice, called vesou. This juice is then fermented with an exclusive Barbancourt yeast that brings out fruity aromas. After distillation, the resulting rum is then left to age in oak barrels.

The Barbancourt Estate Reserve is made from pure sugar case juice, distilled and aged in French Oak barrels for 15 years. Once intended for the Gardere family, it is released each year in limited quantities to the public since 1960.
