Johnnie Walker Blue Label is the house's flagship blend, built from rare hand-selected whiskies and presented in a signature bottle. It is one of the most recognizable gifts in Scotch.
Johnnie Walker says Blue Label draws on only about 1 in 10,000 casks from its reserves of aging Scotch, including whisky from long-closed 'ghost' distilleries. The brand dates to 1820, and Blue Label launched in 1992.
Blue Label is a blend, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV). The blend's makers describe malts as old as 60 years among the components.
