John Walker & Sons XR 21 is an elegant and indulgent blended Scotch whisky crafted to honor Sir Alexander Walker II’s 1920 knighthood from King George V. Inspired by his handwritten blending notes, it is created using an exclusive, time-intensive three-stage blending method. Every component whisky in the blend has been matured for a minimum of 21 years, including rare whiskies from "silent" (closed) distilleries like Port Dundas.
