Named for 19th-century Scottish grocer and liquor salesman John Walker, Johnnie Walker is the most widely distributed scotch whisky brand in the world by a significant margin. The Johnnie Walker line designates different types of whiskies across its branding with color-coded labeling, with the Johnnie Walker Blue Label recognized as the line's premium blend. Aged for a minimum of three years in oak casks, Johnnie Walker claims it handpicks its scotch whisky from one in 10,000 casks.
Blue Label maintains the smoky quality that scotch whiskies are known for without overpowering the other elements of its robust flavor profile. With delicate flavor notes of hazelnut and dark chocolate, Blue Label is one of Johnnie Walker's best whiskies: It's a superior sipping scotch. Johnnie Walker Blue Label has a 40% ABV and retails for $250 for a 750ml bottle or $500 for a liter-size bottle.
