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.

Big dissappointment! Blandest whisky I've ever nosed or tasted. No aftertaste whatsoever. Composite cork?? This spells CHEAP!
It's one of the best in the world.
Terrible . . . A nose that is confused . . . A taste that is not much better; peat and an afterburn like a modern jet fighter . . . Try any of the The Glenlivet single malts and you will never come back to this rubbish
After reading so many glowing reviews about the this whiskey I made the mistake of buying one from duty free on my way back home from Thailand to say that I was somewhat disappointed would be a huge understatement. The nose was reminiscent of any other € 8 bottle of blended cheap generic whisky with my excitement and anticipation beginning to lessen it was all down to the taste now but no my sense of smell had not let me down it tasted like is supermarket own label my money would have been they have been better spent on 3 £ 30 hookers and the taxi fare to the clap clinic
It's ok , better than Black and Gold but maybe some way to justify the price
