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 called Blue Label, for apparent reasons, and it was a mix 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 maybe given it was expensive, it proved an instantaneous hit. By 1997, it turned out selling 50,000 cases globally. Being a known currency all over the world, it’s maybe the ultimate gift whisky. You understand you’ve done an excellent job or perhaps your in-laws approve when you get a bottle.
Blue Label is utilized 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. Regardless of the exact blend, a frequent flavour profile that’s an attractive 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 little spice and citrus.
Palate Supple and balanced. Good toffee and hints of very wistful smoke. Chocolate, hints of grass as well as a good hit of malt.
Finish Floral, oaky, good length, urged on by a plume of very well-kept, highland style smoke. Dried fruit, spice, honey.
Overall One of several ultimate premium blends, Blue Label is often a legend on its own and definately will continue being.
