Product description
Blue Label, the ultra-premium expression of Johnnie Walker, was created by the brand master blender Jim Beveridge in 1992 with its main components being Caol Ila, Royal Lochnagar and Mortlach.
We’ve heard that even a dash of 1923 Auchtertool malt from long gone Lowland distillery was added to the original formula. Three decades later Johnnie Walker Blue Label remains benchmark of its category and keeps growing strong. Diageo frequently supplements the Blue Label range with limited editions, there were over a hundred of them released to date. The one presented here got a bold new look and “celebrates the ones who keep walking”; it was released along with Red Label, Black Label and Gold Label. A 700ml bottle comes with two branded glasses.
Nose: well-balanced, lightly smoky, delicate sherry notes, hazelnuts, honey, raisins, prunes, dark chocolate, hints of pepper and aniseed and oak.
Palate: rich, dark chocolate, honey, prunes, dried figs, roasted almonds, nutmeg, pepper, whiffs of peat smoke and subtle oaky bitterness.
Finish: long, nutty and mildly smoky, with notes of dried fruit, honey, oak and hints of spice.
