| Johnnie Walker Blue Label Gift Set in Wood Box scotsland |
Product Notes: Johnnie Walker Blue Label's intense and luxurious nature recalls the authentic character and taste of the pioneering 19th Century Walker blends. Comprising just 16 of the world's rarest whiskies, Blue Label's appeal to true Scotch connoisseurs rests on the blend's dominant Islay malt whiskie, balanced by several rich Speyside malts that have undergone exceptional periods of sherry oak maturation.
History
John Walker and his son Alexander began their earliest blending experiments using a limited range of whiskeys, drawn mainly from the islands, the western and northern Highlands and a few distilleries in Speyside. Once they had rejected whiskeys that didn't meet their standards, they found that the very best were strictly limited in supply. Following their lead, the Johnnie Walker master-blender developed Blue Label as a celebration of the founder's unremitting standards for only the highest quality whiskey.
As Blue Label is blended from some of the scarcest and most expensive whiskies in the world, availability is seriously limited. In 1993, a panel of international experts at the International Wine and Spirit Competition awarded Johnnie Walker Blue Label its most prestigious medal, the Gold Medal for the Best Blended Whisky.
