Winter Old Fashioned
A festive twist on a classic, Johnnie Walker Black Label’s smoky backbone and creamy vanilla notes are heightened and enhanced by the warming character of the winter spice syrup, creating a winter edition of a crowd favourite.
Garnished with the expected orange twist but adding a star anise to pull through those spicier aromatics and add further festive layers.
