Description
Where velvety smooth flavours blossom on the tongue. Johnnie Walker Blue Label Blended Scotch Whisky comes from hand-selecting rare Scotch Whiskies with a remarkable depth of flavour. Only one in 10,000 casks make the cut. Best served neat, along with an ice-cold water to enhance its powerful character.
Malting: It all starts with the creal: barley or grain. These are high in starches, but to make alcohol, they need to be converted into soluble sugars. This happens naturally when the cereal germinates, so hot water is added and the mixture warned up until it thinks it’s time to grow. This is called malting.
Drying: When it’s good and ready, the cereal is dried in a kiln. Peat is sometimes added at the stage, which helps the drying process and gives the finished whiskey a smoky flavour. The dried cereal is then ground in a mill, all set for the next stage.
Fermantation, Distilling, Maturing.
A velvety combination of vanilla and zesty orange paired with notes of hazelnut, sherry and dark chocolate.
NOSE / A mellow, rounded nose, with a dry smokiness (a Johnnie Walker signature flavour) mixed with raisin sweetness.
PALATE / The first sip reveals a velvety mouthfeel, then an explosion of flavour – hazelnuts, honey, rose petals, sherry and oranges. Subsequent sips reward you with more hidden secrets like kumquats, wispy aromatic smoke, sandalwood, tobacco, and dark chocolate.
FINISH / A rich and uniquely long and satisfying finish of smoke and pepper, ending with a glorious touch of spice.
