ASCENDING TO GREATNESS

 

Johnson Reserve’s Ascension is rewriting whisky’s playbook with an unprecedented maturation journey through 33 unique casks, earning it the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for The Greatest Variety of Flavours in a Whisky. Each cask, carefully sourced and selected for its distinctive characteristics, imparts its own layer of flavor, from the smoky depth of mezcal barrels to the nutty richness of Rivesaltes barriques. The result is a whisky of unmatched complexity, offering a dynamic and evolving tasting experience that balances precision and artistry in every sip. Ascension’s 33-cask process avoids blending entirely, relying instead on meticulous sequencing to craft a spirit that reveals new depths with each tasting.

This innovation is a testament to over a decade of dedication by Johnson Reserve, blending scientific insight with time-honored techniques. The whisky’s intricate flavor profile—honeyed fig and toasted almond on the nose, caramelized pear and dark cocoa on the palate, and a lingering finish of sweet tobacco and Mizunara oak—speaks to the distillery’s mastery of cask influence. Beyond its remarkable taste, Ascension’s bespoke packaging and commitment to redefining Scotch maturation elevate it to a collector’s treasure, setting a bold new standard for what whisky can achieve.

With only 40 bottles available, Ascension is set to become a true collectors item. A ballot will be held for the chance to purchase one of these exclusive bottles, price available on application.
