JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE 750

Blue Label is the ultimate luxury Scotch Whisky and supplies of Blue Label are limited by the rarity and expense of the whiskies used in the blend. At the heart of Blue Label is Royal Lochnagara rare malt distilled near Balmoral; the Queens holiday home. Around 15 other mature and precious whiskies are added to balance Blue Label perfectly - a blend that cannot be beat (Alexander Walker; 1888). Master Blenders notes: Nose: Harmonious and perfectly balanced; hints of smokiness and a real depth of sherry character; with hints of raisins and toasted nuts. Palate: Hugely flavourful with a rich peatiness; deep smoke and traces of spice. Develops into intense flavours of oak; dark-chocolate and rich home-made Dundee cake. Characteristics from the Cardhu distillery; Benrinnes and other Speyside malts combine to provide the rich sherry and oak flavours. Royal Lochnagar from the tiny Highland distillery gives a rich sweetness with hints of freshness. Mature grains give an oak and vanilla character; while Caol Ila brings the deep; pungent spice and smoke. Finish: Well balanced; long and intense; with hints of smoke; Islay seaweed and vintage oaks.
