Johnnie Walker

Blended
The Johnnie Walker Blue Label story begins in 1987 when the Distillers Company launched Johnnie Walker Oldest. It quickly became known as Blue Label, for obvious reasons, and was a blend of rare malt and grain whiskies bottled without an age statement with stylishly retro packaging that echoed the 19th century Johnnie Walker bottle.
Though expensive, or perhaps because it was expensive, it proved an instant hit. By 1997, it was selling 50,000 cases globally. As a known currency throughout the world, it’s perhaps the ultimate gift whisky. You know you’ve done a good job or your in-laws approve when you receive a bottle.
Blue Label is drawn from 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. Whatever the exact blend, a consistent flavour profile that’s a beautiful balance of rich, slightly smoky, and fruity elements.
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.
JW Blue Label always was a special treat. In recent years it tastes like the blend consists mainly of heavy Islay malts, way out of proportion. I rember the days when it was advertised as especially for Japan export with numbered bottles and all. Overpriced and apparently not exclusive anymore.
still can't understand the great value of this whisky, green label and 18 yr old or the inexpensive double black are much worthy contenders than this bizarre experiment, it reminds me to the awful highland park Einar.
Really enjoying this supple and balance dram for the beginner of whisky lover. Enjoy the slightly smoky which is suitable for matching with oysters.
Very much enjoying the Blue label. Lovely on the nose, yet not overwhelming. Very smooth on the palate, and the finish is subtle (especially the smoke), but very long.
I really enjoyed it. Bought a sample first not knowing hubby bought a full size bottle for my birthday! Fresh smelling, gentle on the tongue and slips smoothly down. Yes a considered purchase, but well worth it in my opinion.
