✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Johnnie Walker Blue Label is the pinnacle of the House of Walker's blending art, created to recreate the character and taste of legendary 19th-century blends. The 'Monkey' edition is a highly collectible release celebrating the Lunar New Year (Year of the Monkey), featuring bespoke bottle artistry. Inside is the classic, peerless Blue Label blend: an extraordinary combination of Scotland's rarest and most exceptional malt and grain whiskies, including some from long-closed 'ghost' distilleries. Hand-selected by the Master Blender, only one in ten thousand casks possesses the elusive quality required for this blend. The result is a velvety smooth spirit defined by layers of dried fruits, rich vanilla, sweet honey, and a signature whisper of gentle peat smoke.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Johnnie Walker blev grundlagt i 1820 af John Walker som en købmandsforretning i Kilmarnock, hvor han udblendede uensartede single malts til harmonisk whisky. I dag har huset under Diageos ejerskab udviklet sig til det absolutte pejlemærke for blended skotsk whisky. Master Blender Dr. Emma Walker råder i dag over enorme modningslagre med mere end ti millioner fade fra over tredive velansete destillerier i Highland, Speyside, Lowland og Islay – herunder uerstattelige 'ghost'-partier fra for længst lukkede ikoner som Port Ellen og Brora. Med udgangspunkt i Diageos bæredygtige 'Grain-to-Glass'-filosofi for korndyrkning og destillering forvandler blenderne Skotlands mangeartede terroir til komplekse, lagdelte kompositioner, der er kendetegnet ved husets distinkte røg, moden frugtplantage, maritim salt og blød vaniljesødme. Signatur-aftapninger som den klassiske Black Label, Green Label blended malt og den eksklusive Blue Label udgør højdepunktet inden for skotsk blendingkunst i stor skala, hvor historisk håndværk forenes med nutidig videnskabelig præcision.
