Johnnie Walker Blue Label is the pinnacle whisky of the Striding Man Society® – it is the epitome of blending. Created to reflect the style of whiskies in the early 19th century, it’s created using some of our rarest casks from the Johnnie Walker stocks, the largest in the world.
The casks are hand-selected and set aside for their exceptional quality, character and flavor. The character of Blue Label is truly unique; it is complex, powerful, incredibly smooth and retains the Johnnie Walker signature smokiness.
King George V from Blue Label was created to celebrate the Royal Warrant given to the Walker family in 1934 to mark their exceptional quality. This blend includes Port Ellen™, a highly prized malt whose distillery no longer exists.
The John Walker is the most recent addition, created as a tribute to our founder. Hand-crafted in single barrel batches of only 330 bottles, it’s an exceptionally rare blend of 9 whiskies, including those from Glen Albyn™ and Cambus™ distilleries. It’s presented in a unique, individually numbered Baccarat crystal decanter – handblown, polished and engraved by one of only three Master Craftsmen in the world.

WINE ENTHUSIAST RATING: 96-100

WINE ENTHUSIAST REVIEW: The dazzling bouquet includes scents of malted barley, oatmeal, prunes, dark toffee, dark honey and double cream. Palate entry is warm, semisweet, caramel-like and woody; at midpalate charcoal, oloroso Sherry, dark honey, marzipan, candied walnut and even a touch of rancio are added. Aftertaste is warm with long-lasting oily/buttery/creamy flavors. A wonderful whisky. Limited availability at selected retailers.

MALT ADVOCATE RATING: 95

MALT ADVOCATE REVIEW: Formulated to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Johnnie Walker. This is a fabulous whisky for anyone who can spring for the bottle. It is deep, dark, and quite powerful with a hefty malt foundation and sweeter notes of toffee and vanilla combined with resinous oak, complex fruit (both bright citrus notes and darker pit fruits), crisp mint, tobacco, polished leather, and heavy peat smoke. A tour de force of a blended scotch-as big as many single malts reviewed here.
