The nose is fruity and sweet with raisins and hints of smoke, oak, spice, and vanilla. The supple and balanced palate has notes of vanilla, honey, caramel, hazelnuts, a touch of orange zest, and dark chocolate. The finish is smoky, floral, warming, and extra long.
The legalization of the blending of grain and malt whiskies by the Spirits Act of 1860 marked the beginning of the modern blended Scotch whisky. Johnnie Walker’s first commercial blend, called Old Highland Whisky, was launched in 1867. Alexander Walker also introduced the brand’s signature square bottle and the distinctive slanted label. In 1893, the Walkers acquired the Cardhu distillery and kept expanding through the early 20th century by buying interests in a number of distilleries. This ensured the company a steady supply of whiskies for its blends. By 1909, John’s grandsons George and Alexander II had expanded the line, and were selling three blended whiskies.
In 1909, the company rebranded its whiskies, introducing the famous striding man logo and renaming the blends after the colors of their labels. By 1920, Johnnie Walker could be bought in 120 countries. The company joined Distillers Company in 1925, and, after its acquisition by Guinness, and Guinness’s subsequent merger with Grand Metropolitan, the brand is now owned by Diageo.
The Blue Label is something of an institution. Only 1 in 10,000 casks from the company’s reserves of over 10 million maturing whiskies have what it takes to be blended into this masterpiece, including some extra-precious casks from long-closed “ghost” distilleries. Johnnie Walker Blue Label Blended Scotch Whisky represents the epitome of blending and the pinnacle of the House of Walker whisky. The special releases of this whisky are highly collectible and sought-after with various different designs. This one takes its inspiration from Washington D.C. with depictions of the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and The Capitol. The imposing monuments are offset by the gentler side of D.C. with its iconic, delicate cherry blossoms. The beautiful design makes for a great gift as well as being collectible.
