Blue Label, Year Of The Tiger 2022

This limited edition celebrates the Year of the Tiger with artwork by Chinese artist Shan Jiang, honouring the animal as a symbol of strength and courage. The design bridges two cultures—a statement of Johnnie Walker's reach beyond Scotland into global markets, with premium blends crafted for an international audience.

Blue Label draws on malts from across Scotland's whisky regions, blended to achieve a refined equilibrium that avoids aggression in favour of approachability. Despite its premium standing, it presents as an inviting dram rather than an intimidating one.

The nose reveals layers of honey, vanilla, and soft smoke, with spice gradually yielding to citrus notes. The palate brings caramel, hazelnut, and dark chocolate, underpinned by a whisper of smoke. The finish is luxurious and sustained, with a warm fade.
