Johnnie Walker Blue Label Bottling Note

The Johnnie Walker Blue Label story begins in 1987 when the Distillers Company launched Johnnie Walker Oldest. It quickly became called Blue Label, for apparent reasons, and it was a mix of rare malt and grain whiskies bottled lacking any age statement with stylishly retro packaging that echoed the Nineteenth century Johnnie Walker bottle.

Though expensive, or maybe given it was expensive, it proved an immediate hit. By 1997, it turned out selling 50,000 cases globally. As a known currency across the world, it’s probably the ultimate gift whisky. You know you’ve done a good job or perhaps your in-laws approve once you obtain 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. Regardless of the exact blend, a regular flavour profile that’s a lovely balance of rich, slightly smoky, and fruity elements.

Tasting Note from 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 touch of 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 with a plume of very well-kept, highland style smoke. Dried fruit, spice, honey.

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