Raise a Toast of ‘Blue'
In the American TV serial ‘Burn Notice', the CIA agent Michael Westen (played by Jeffrey Donovan) lured a target to celebrate with Johnnie Walker Blue Label. In the 2010 Hollywood movie called ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps', Shia LaBeouf gifted a Blue Label to a potential investor. Also, if you remember the song "I Drink Alone" by George Thorogood, where he sang "Me and my pal Johnnie Walker…..". There are endless such instances of referring to this ‘Blue' in poems, songs, movies or during personal conversations with friends.
So, how this legacy started? Johnnie Walker was originally produced as ‘Walker's Kilmarnock Whisky' innovated by John Walker. John or Johnnie Walker sold whisky at his grocery shop in Ayrshire, Scotland. The whisky gained popularity, but after the death of John Walker, his son and grandson took the onus to market this brand extensively. It is due to their effort, blue label has become part of the legends worldwide. At one point of time, their company's 90-95% sales were due to the popularity of this brand.
This premium blended Scotch whisky contains 40-43% Alcohol by Volume (ABV), and its casks are picked up selectively to ensure outstanding quality and flavor. The characteristics of blue are unique for its complex process, powerful taste, smooth texture, and got the signature smokiness of the ‘House of Walker'. This is surely not a whisky for someone who is just starting off with alcohol since it has several layers of flavor and strong taste that can be cherished by a matured drinker.
The Master Blender of Johnnie Walker, Jim Beveridge once said about this blended genius:
"I think of blending as being like the process of writing. Is the final book just a series of words, a lot of facts and information, or has it been put together with care and attention so that the end result will relate to the person who reads it?"

Characteristics of the ‘Blue':
* Clean floral aroma containing light brown sugar and biscuits.
* A little peppery and rich in taste.
* Use of clove, cinnamon stick, and a tinge of vanilla custard.
* The texture is sandy; consistent that nicely matches up with the spicy taste.
While tasting this whisky, you will get a good smoky shot and a feeling of warmth in the mouth. Its lingering flavor and taste with a background of malt remains in your tongue as if for eternity.
This exceptional whisky is available online with some great websites that have made the life easier for the drinkers.

Michael Jackson once rated Johnnie Walker Blue very highly describing it as "a lovely, luxurious whisky". Though it is not just about the celebrities and their elated remarks; rather it is about the celebrating the moments of our life. And with Johnnie Walker Blue Label, no moment remains ordinary and dry.
