Johnnie Walker Blue Label Bottling Note

The Johnnie Walker Blue Label story begins in 1987 in the event the Distillers Company launched Johnnie Walker Oldest. It quickly became known as Blue Label, for self-evident reasons, and was a blend of rare malt and grain whiskies bottled lacking any age statement with stylishly retro packaging that echoed the 19th century Johnnie Walker bottle.

Though expensive, or maybe as it was expensive, it proved an instant hit. By 1997, it had been selling 50,000 cases globally. Like a known currency around the world, it’s probably the ultimate gift whisky. You know you’ve done an excellent job or your in-laws approve whenever you be given a bottle.

Blue Label is used by unparalleled Diageo reserves of maturing malt and grain whiskies from across four regions (Highland, Lowland, Speyside, and Islay), including ghost distilleries, that Johnnie Walker has privileged access to. No matter the exact blend, an even flavour profile that’s a good looking balance of rich, slightly smoky, and fruity elements.

Nose Fragrant with higher body. Notes of oak, crisp spice, dried fruit, pastries. Berry fruits, aniseed, hints of cedar, some spice and citrus.

Palate Supple and balanced. Good toffee and hints of very wistful smoke. Chocolate, hints of grass along with a good hit of malt.

Finish Floral, oaky, good length, urged on with a plume of very well-kept, highland style smoke. Dried fruit, spice, honey.

Overall One of many ultimate premium blends, Blue Label can be a legend in its own right and can remain.
