Johnnie Walker Blue Label Bottling Note
The Johnnie Walker Blue Label story begins in 1987 in the event the Distillers Company launched Johnnie Walker Oldest. It quickly became called Blue Label, for apparent reasons, and was a blend 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 possibly as it was expensive, it proved an instant 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 understand you’ve done a fantastic job or your in-laws approve when you receive a bottle.
Blue Label is sucked 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 entry to. Whatever the exact blend, a regular flavour profile that’s an attractive balance of rich, slightly smoky, and fruity elements.
Tasting Note with 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 and 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 a legend on its own and will remain.
