Blended
Scotland
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.

I figured that there are two types of whisky lovers out there, those who love jw blue and those who hate it. Count me among those happy enough to appreciate this incredibly exquisite blend.
I will taste blue lable first time in my home normally in parties I found the best I have taken ever but I also like double black
It has taken me a couple of sitting to fully appreciate Blue label. Originally I found it very sweet as I enjoy the smokey peatiness of JWs. Blue is subtle and smooth. Like a caramel that has been taken just far enough so it stops being over bearing but isn't burnt. However I do prefer Green to Blue unlucky that they stopped making Green.
for a blended its really good no like the black which is not good. Smoke could be overbearing for some. I liked it. nice for the price.
My go to whenever a celebration is warranted
