Johnnie Walker Blue The Year of the Dragon

As the world’s most widely distributed blended Scotch whisky, selling over 130 million bottles a year, Johnnie Walker has a long and rich history. John Walker was a Scottish grocer based in Kilmarnock who, despite being tee-total himself, produced and sold a brand of whisky called Walker’s Kilmarnock Whisky.

Johnnie Walker Blue is the most sought-after bottling in the range, as well as being the most famous top-end blended whisky going. Johnnie Walker Blue Label is an incomparable masterpiece. It is an exquisite combination of some of the rarest and most exceptional whiskies in Scotland. Only one in ten thousand casks has this unique quality, character and aroma with which the typical special taste of Johnnie Walker Blue Label can be achieved. An exceptional whiskey for exceptional occasions.

Re-imagined by James Jean, the evergreen Wood Dragon springs from bountiful flora and fauna, and bursts to life with auspicious ambition. His artwork of the mythical dragon, interwoven and layered with botanical elements, echoes the visceral flavor experience of this exceptional Scotch.

Take in the wonderfully mellow, rounded nose – replete with dry smokiness artfully mixed with the sweetness of raisins. Nose is layered of dried fruits, citrus smoke, which then evolves into notes of honey, sweet spice, and vanilla. Velvety chocolate and a rounded smoky finish.
