Johnnie Walker
Scotland
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.
£28.07 - £325.00
The whiskey itself is extremely pleasant. It's not trying to blow your face off with a ton of a particular flavor. It's just trying to be nice. And it does that quite well. It's... reminded me of like a smoked cider, if that makes any sense. It's definitely a good experience, and I'd love to sip on it over the course of a day. It's like... It's like coming home to a familiar leather chair in front of a lit fireplace, settling in, and relaxing for a while. It's friendly, oddly familiar, and welcoming. But then comes the price... It's hard to justify the expenditure. I mean, it's smoother than hakushu 18, and I think it's a bit friendlier... But like the hakushu 18, I don't entirely think that it's worth the cost. It's good! But... that good? If I caught it on sale, I'd consider buying a bottle. Beyond that it's a tough sell to me.
With out a doubt the best blended whisky. Top gear, very enjoyable experience
Only a snob would leave this whiskey a bad rating. Can you get more bang for your buck elsewhere? Absolutely. Can usually get 1.5 - 2 bottles of equally great tasting whiskey for the same price. If you are a Johnny Walker fan, there is no going back to the lower shelf varieties. Do yourself a favor and buy a bottle. Most bars (in major cities) charge $35 - 50 a glass, might as well buy the bottle. The experience of opening a bottle of blue adds nostalgic value that you just can't find with other bottles.
Normally I’m a single malt drinker. Got bottle of JW Blue as a present (a good present) I must say,this is a very good whisky. Well balanced, crispy, slightly smoky. But over priced. I mean you can buy two bottles of decent single malts instead of one blue. Probably the best blended.
A fine sip. Price a side it's very good, Price inside the bottle stay outside! Shame it's not 43%
