Johnnie Walker Blue Label

[DTOXX 0]

OK, I fly home in two days and have a few Rials left. The duty free has Blue Label at a great price but I have never "sampled" it.

Anyone had Johnnie Walker Blue Label and is it worth it?

(I feel really stupid asking a bunch of skydivers if they like alcohol )

It's nice. About the only Johnnie Walker I'd pay for...

Most definately. Some mates and i worked our way through a small bottle on Saturday night, i can honestly say it's one of the smoothest whiskies i've ever tasted.

My favorite of all Scotches. Drink it neat - adding ice, water or anything else would be a sin.

You?
I can't believe there are skydivers out there that know what JW Blue is?
All the skydivers I know go for the cheapest, not the most expensive.

Just curious, how much IS it selling for there?

Not ALL the skydivers you know.

I've been through two bottles in five years. I only buy it duty-free, and it's a spectacular Scotch. I also have Johnie Walker, red, black, gold, blue, swing, and pure malt.

Part of the fun of having all the Johnnies (and 62 single malts) is to have people over who are self-proclaimed Scotch snobs who arrive with an unfounded prejudice to drink "single malts only" and give them blind tests of Dalmore 29, Macallen 18, and some of my other favorites, and then a shot of Johnnie Blue and watch them prefer Johnnie blue, and then tell them it's a 25yo blended. Soon they're interested in trying Gold, Black, and Pure Malt. It's interesting to explain the story of Johnnie Walker as well. (how he was a shop keeper and he provided consistent flavor, versus sporadically changing single scotches. how the label was first accidently applied at that funny angle, which became his trademark, etc.)

Blue is worth the cash (imho) if you drink a shot at a time, and -like- Scotch. If you're looking for something tasty to pound down, Glenmorangie 10yo is the most consumed Scotch in Scotland and is a damn good value (quality/dollar) at around $35/bottle.

When I visited Scotland about fifteen years ago I triedto order whiskey on ice; the bartender flat out refused. He gave me my whiskey in a glass neat and pointed to the water jug. When I complained that the water wasn't cold he responded "Aye; ice is to kill the taste of that crap you drink in America. Same reason you have to chill your beer."

Gold label is better ,hands down.
Blue is expensive( if that is what you look for in a good scotch)
