Johnnie Walker Blue Label 2026 (70cl, 40%)

Johnnie Walker Blue Label is a blended Scotch whisky combining single malt and single grain whiskies, bottled at 40% in a 70cl bottle. This 2026 presentation has a blue-tinted glass bottle with gold accents and the Striding Man. The blend draws on especially rare stocks, hand-picked from casks tested for the character wanted. Only about one in 10,000 has it. Some of the whiskies come from distilleries that closed long ago. The nose combines gentle smoke, honey, oak and dried fruit with fine pepper and other spices. The palate is silky, with toffee, marzipan, dark chocolate, raisins and ripe orange, then hazelnut, vanilla and honey. The finish is long and smooth, with ginger, sandalwood and a hint of smoke.
