Johnnie Walker Blue Label Bottling Note

The Johnnie Walker Blue Label story begins later when the Distillers Company launched Johnnie Walker Oldest. It quickly became referred to as Blue Label, for obvious reasons, and it was a mix of rare malt and grain whiskies bottled lacking any age statement with stylishly retro packaging that echoed the 1800s Johnnie Walker bottle.

Though expensive, or possibly given it was expensive, it proved an immediate hit. By 1997, it was selling 50,000 cases globally. Being a known currency around the world, it’s perhaps the ultimate gift whisky. You already know you’ve done a good job or perhaps your in-laws approve when you get a bottle.

Blue Label is used by 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 use of. No matter what exact blend, a frequent flavour profile that’s a beautiful balance of rich, slightly smoky, and fruity elements.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Fragrant with good body. Notes of oak, crisp spice, dried fruit, pastries. Berry fruits, aniseed, hints of cedar, a little spice and citrus.

Palate Supple and balanced. Good toffee and hints of very wistful smoke. Chocolate, hints of grass along with a good hit of malt.

Finish Floral, oaky, good length, urged on by way of a plume of very well-kept, highland style smoke. Dried fruit, spice, honey.

Overall Among the ultimate premium blends, Blue Label is often a legend in its own right and can remain.
