What’s better than experiencing some of the rarest fine scotch spirits in the world? Why an NFT work designed by a leading digital artist that simultaneously serves as a token ticket to a scotch whisky wonderland.

Johnnie Walker, serving select Scotch since 1820, now offers whisky connoisseurs the ultimate package: one of seven ultra-rare bottles of the distiller’s 48-year-old Masters of Flavour Whisky and a private whisky tour of a lifetime in Edinburgh, Scotland. Buyers will not only purchase an NFT token unlocking access to one of the world’s best whisky bottles via the BlockBar platform, the package includes a limited digital art piece designed by buzzworthy artist and graphic designer, Kode Abdo, aka BossLogic.

In a few short years, BossLogic has gone from creating fan-inspired superhero mashups on Adobe Photoshop to putting together Marvel posters for some of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters, including Avengers: Endgame and Aladdin. The now renowned artist is also known for playful fancasts, and recently, teaming up with footballer Lionel Messi on a new series of NFTs featuring soccer’s greatest scorer.

“Each piece is a unique celebration of the souls of life, paired with seven rare bottles of 48-year-old blended Scotch whisky,” BossLogic said in a press release. “Seven treasures reserved for only the most worthy of connoisseurs.”

Johnnie Walker Masters of Flavour is crafted from fleetingly rare whiskies from Port Dundas, Brora, Glen Albyn, and Glenury Royal, four Scottish “ghost distilleries,” long since disappeared from productive life but whose whiskies still exist for limited periods before stocks eventually run out. The blend showcases how masters of whisky-making combine generations of Scotch knowledge and craftsmanship with their own expertise in malting, distillation, cask maturation, and blending, to create an exceptional (and exceptionally rare) Scotch.

Johnnie has bottled Masters of Flavour in a handblown, green baccarat Crystal decanter, presented in a handcrafted, wooden cabinet, a fitting throne for this brown royalty.

The seven bottle buyers will also not only get to taste some of the world’s scarcest spirits, but Johnnie Walker will also grant each token holder the opportunity to take a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Princes Street — the brand’s immersive, Scotch culture visitor experience in Edinburgh, Scotland. NFT owners will stay at the palatial Gleneagles Townhouse, tour the iconic Glenkinchie Distillery (which plays an integral role in the crafting of Johnnie Walker whisky), and take a guided tour of the Diageo Archive (the British multinational who owns Johnnie Walker), and enjoy VIP tastings from Diageo’s rarest, collectible whisky collection.

With this innovative collaboration with BlockBar and BossLogic, Johnnie Walker places itself at the cutting edge of whisky offerings.

“At Johnnie Walker, we’re always challenging ourselves to create unique experiences that people can enjoy and engage with around the world,” Johnnie Walker Global Brand Director, Julie Bramham said. “This innovative collaboration with BlockBar puts Johnnie Walker at the cutting edge of what is possible in whisky, providing something truly unique for whisky aficionados and collectors around the world.”

BlockBar echoed this excitement, wondering at the possibilities the partnership opens.

“This partnership demonstrates how an NFT can be so much more than just one product, it can be an experience like no other that offers buyers exclusive long-lasting access to a brand, its heritage, and its future,” CEO and co-founder of BlockBar Dov Falic said.

Priced at $35,000 USD the Johnnie Walker Masters of Flavour NFTs are available to purchase with ETH or by fiat currency (see: dollars). The lobby will open at 10 am EST on Tuesday, May 31 at BlockBar.com.

Here’s to the New Year: 20-Year-Old Whiskies to Drink in 2022
whiskey in a glass

2020 is barely a month old, so it's a good time to consider some 20-year-old whiskies to drink in this first year of the new decade. Of course, many of these happen to be single malt Scotch, and for good reason. In general, you can age a whiskey for much longer in the temperate climate of Scotland than you could in Kentucky, with its extreme seasonal temperature swings, and still have it come out tasting good. This is because hot summers and cold winters force the liquid to interact with the barrel more, resulting in a whiskey that may become overly oaky and tannic over time. For this reason, most Kentucky bourbon is released below the 10-year mark, while the benchmark age for single malt is usually 10 to 12 years. There are some exceptions, of course, and these can be quite good if appropriate attention is paid to the barrels as they age. Here are ten whiskeys aged for two decades to try now -- provided you can find and afford them. (As a general note, the age statement refers to the youngest whiskey in the bottle, so there may be older liquid included as well).
Deanston 20 Year Old Oloroso

Deanston is a sometimes overlooked Highlands distillery that has an excellent range of single malts, including some organic expressions and this limited release 20YO. The whisky was matured in Oloroso sherry casks for two decades, and bottled at cask strength without color added or chill-filtration. There are notes of dried fruit and vanilla on the palate, followed by a hint of baking spice and prune.

Wolves Whiskey Releases Newest Expression Called Winter Run
wolves whiskey

Last year, the first release from new brand Wolves Whiskey sold out quite rapidly, something which founders James Bond (co-founder of Undefeated) and Jon Buscemi (founder of Buscemi) hope to repeat. This year's release is called Winter Run, and like last year's it's a blend of various whiskeys, mostly distilled by master distiller Marko Karakasevic of Charbray Distillery. This year's release is a blend of the following: whiskey distilled from stout beer aged in French oak for eight years, whiskey distilled from pilsner beer aged in new American oak for five years, rye whiskey (not distilled by Karakasevic), and a single malt whiskey aged for nine years in used French oak.

Yes, this is basically another celebrity-fronted whiskey, although not of the caliber of, say, The Rock's new tequila venture. It's questionable how much these fashion mavens actually had to do with selecting the liquid that you will find in the bottle, although according to Buscemi they were very involved. “We took some cues from First Run while incorporating a really earthy single malt," he said in a prepared statement. "I like single malts all year round but enjoy them most in the colder months. It took a lot of work to get this right, but the result is special and I’m happy we were able to crank out a few more bottles this time in production.”

Canadian Club Releases a 42-Year-Old Whisky
Canadian Club 42 Year Old

The second release in Canadian Club’s CC Chronicles series is a 42-year-old Canadian whisky, also named Issue No. 2: The Dock Man. This slightly awkward name is meant as a tribute to the dock workers who helped the whisky keep flowing during the lean years of Prohibition. No. 2 is one year older than the last CC Chronicles release, 2018’s 41-year-old Water of Windsor. “For more than 150 years, we've consistently delivered quality expressions to whisky drinkers, and the release of Canadian Club 42 Year Old continues this tradition,” said global whisky ambassador Tish Harcus in a prepared statement. “Following the success of our first CC Chronicles release last year, we're excited to unveil another premium, distinctive whisky that endures the test of time."

When it comes to aging, Canadian whisky is more like Scotch than bourbon, in that it can spend decades inside a barrel and still taste pretty good. The cooler climate up north means that long maturation periods don’t completely destroy the flavor of the whisky with astringent tannin and oak notes, as it often does in Kentucky. With this whisky you’ll find rich brown sugar and molasses on the nose, and dried cherry, vanilla, and maple syrup on the palate. At 90 proof, there’s a little bit of welcome heat here as well. Ultimately, this does not drink like an over-aged four-decade-old whisky, and that’s a good thing. Representatives for the brand won't give details regarding the mash bill, but they confirmed that the whisky was aged in American oak barrels (the exact type were not revealed) for the entirety of its maturation.
