Johnnie Walker Blue Label Berlin, Cities of the Future 2220 (70cl, 40%)

This is a limited edition of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, a blended whisky bottled at 40% in a 70cl bottle. The special design is by Luke Halls Studio, and Berlin is one of three editions in the Cities of the Future 2220 series. Blue Label is a complex, powerful blend that is also soft, with a distinctive smokiness. The nose has honey, vanilla and smoke, and these return on the palate together with sherry notes. The finish is soft and long.
