Blended
Scotland
A limited edition presentation of Johnnie Walker's Blue Label, their premium blend. This comes from a series of releases from Johnnie Walker, highlighting cities around the world. For this one, they've focused on Edinburgh - the designs features notable landmarks like the Duke of Wellington statue, the Scott Monument and Edinburgh Castle.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Fragrant with good body. Notes of oak, crisp spice, dried fruit, pastries. Berry fruits, aniseed, hints of cedar, a touch of spice and citrus.
Supple and balanced. Good toffee and hints of very wistful smoke. Chocolate, hints of grass and a good hit of malt.
Floral, oaky, good length, urged on by a plume of very well-kept, highland style smoke. Dried fruit, spice, honey.
One of the ultimate premium blends, Blue Label is a legend in its own right and will continue to be.
Blue is best.
Very good
Although it is somewhat expensive I really believe it is worth every cent. The first impression was a very fruity welcoming blast of smoothness. The delayed tone of cedar enhanced the taste and definitely wakes up the taste buds. After rinsing my taste buds with cold water and ice I then picked out the chocolate on oak backed up by a very decent smokey taste that rounds this experience while leaving no unwelcome after taste. A very enjoyable experience indeed.
While it isn't anywhere near as good as the price would suggest, to give this whisky 1/10 is utterly ridiculous and indicates that the reviewer below cannot appreciate a good blend. As for Gold Label being better, well that depends on taste - Gold Label is MUCH sweeter, with almost a viscous, honey texture and Green Label is grapefruity, fresh and no longer produced. This is an excellent blend and very smooth but is it worth the price?? Not even close.
This is expensive crap, I waited years for a bottle got one and its crap, expensive crap, Gold Label and green far better
