Johnnie Walker Blue Label is the pinnacle of the house's blending expertise, designed to recreate the style and character of early 19th-century whiskies. The 'Year of the Horse' edition is a highly collectible, limited-release bottling created to celebrate the Lunar New Year, adorned with elegant artwork depicting the strength and grace of the horse. This exceptional blend is crafted from some of the rarest and most exceptional whiskies sourced from the four corners of Scotland, including irreplaceable 'ghost' distilleries. Master blenders hand-select only one in ten thousand casks that possess the sufficient depth, complexity, and character to be part of the Blue Label blend. The result is a remarkably smooth, multi-layered spirit that balances rich honeyed sweetness, dried fruits, dark chocolate, and a signature, gentle wave of peat smoke.
