Johnnie Walker Blue Label
JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL is an inspired combination of our rarest malts and most superior grains. Each malt brings an abundance of flavour to the blend, whilst the grain whiskies are picked to display those flavours to their utmost piquancy. The remarkable smoothness of BLUE LABEL can only be accomplished by using very old whiskies which have had time to mellow and take on the flavours of the casks they are matured in. Some of the distilleries that produced these casks no longer exist, making the whiskies not just rare, but irreplaceable. A beautiful mellow rounded nose with almost no prickle. One sip reveals a velvety mouth-feel, then an explosion of flavour: Hazelnuts, Rose petals, Sherry, Oranges. Subsequent sips reward you with more hidden secrets: kumquats, wispy aromatic smoke, sandalwood, tobacco, chocolate and stewed apples. The balance on the palate is one to be surpassed showcasing the blending artistry of some of the oldest, rarest and finest whiskies in the Johnnie Walker house. This is true representation of what a 19th century whisky should be. The true blenders art.. 5 TOKENS
