JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL OLD BOTTLING 70CL
The Johnnie Walker Blue Label story began in 1987 with the launch of Johnnie Walker Oldest. It quickly earned the nickname Blue Label due to its distinctive features.
Basically, this blend of rare malt and grain whiskies, bottled without an age statement, came in retro packaging reminiscent of 19th-century Johnnie Walker bottles.
Despite its high price, Blue Label became a runaway success. By 1997, it had sold 50,000 cases worldwide. Today, it is the ultimate gift whisky, symbolizing achievement or approval.
Moreover, Johnnie Walker Blue Label sources its whiskies from Diageo’s exclusive reserves, including ghost distilleries.
The unique blend combines malts and grains from Highland, Lowland, Speyside, and Islay regions, ensuring a unique and consistent flavor profile with rich, slightly smoky, and fruity notes.
