Totally agree with your synopsis - by the way, binge-watching your vids. It's a very well made, fantastically balanced whisky. it gets a lot of hate, which, in my personal opinion, is unwarranted and due to both the price and the hype. I've never bought a bottle, but my wife bought me a quarter bottle a few years ago for Christmas. If you focus purely on the whisky, it's a mighty fine dram. Cheers bud.

The best in the world, "Johnnie Walker's Blue Label". A "black label Johnnie Walker" I take it, but when it's something special I drink a "Blue Label", it's an elissir and the other is a whiskey, one is taken and the other is savored. The "black label" one is for drinking, strong, after six, and the "Blue Label" is for any time, You can take it in the morning and you will never get heartburn, gastritis, anything. It's an elissir. 🥃🚬

Because there are so many i don’t know where to begin. Already tasted the classics like JW red and black label and Jack daniels as well as tallisker the normal one iguess. Maybe if you have any suggestions please let me know!

Hi very good question. There are a few videos on KZitem regarding this question. You can also watch my recent video of 1 whisky per region challenge to see if any of them help you. I would recommend the Glenmorangie core range, especially the Lasanta, Quinta Ruban and Nectar to see if you like any of these sweet wine effects. Glenallachie 8 or 12 are also quite sweet and easy sippers. If you like your smoky peaty whiskies, many of the core ranges from Laprhoaig, Ardbeg and Kilchoman are great under 100. If you like a bit more lighter side without too much sherry or smoke influence, Glencadam or Tomintoul would be a good place to start also Lindores Abbey, Glasgow 1770 are good Lowlanders. So many options depending on what your go to taste is. Hope this helps

I wouldn't know about 'kicking in' but the general consensus is leave a whisky in the glass at least a minute for every year it's been matured. We know there are some old stocks in the Blue Label but we just don't know the exact age so yeah 10 20 would make a difference to the spirit. If you can, have a sip when you first pour, think about it, then another sip after 10, then after 20 and so on to see how it evolves. This way you can find your own sweet space 😃 Thanks for watching

There are those who will also say the Chivas Royal Salute is better than the Johnnie Walker Blue and at a much lower price too. Personally I bought a JW Blue at duty free a couple of years back. While it was good, I didn't find it impressive, so much hype around it, and expensive. Definitely not a re-buy for me even at duty free price. The Japanese Hibiki Harmony (even with no age statement) , IMHO tastes smoother and better. (and also cheaper).

Yikes! Okay I think it's overrated and overpriced! There's no way I'd pay $350 before taxes in Vancouver. I have had this as a gift. It didn't come close to superb single malts that I have had. Maybe it's my palette deficit! Cheers!

It's definitely not you Christine, it is an expensive whisky. A very well made blend but a blend nonetheless which won't ever come close to the beauty of a good malt whisky. It's good to try though if you receive it as a gift :)

@@thewhiskyenthusiast I am so appreciative to have received this whisky as a gift! It was very kind and very expensive when gifted to me but now it's so much more $$! Yikes! Hey I enjoyed some Ardbeg An Oa last night! It's hard to get here but showed up in a special release event at our BC Liquor Stores in my province. Quite nice! I always love the smoke! Have an awesome day!! Loving the Lagavulin Offerman 11 4th Edition!! Cheers!! 🙂

@@christinecamley Yes I was as well to receive it as a gift, good that we have generous friends 😃 The An Oa is a decent dram actually but I think it gets lost within the core range of Ardbeg in my opinion. Glad you like the Lagavulin Christine, have an awesome day yourself

Taste is a very subjective thing and as long as you enjoy what you're drinking that's all that matters :)

No Blend is worth that price, i have expert knowledge of liquor because it’s what i sell, i also taste lots of different liquors and Blended Whisky just isn’t great, if you want a really good Whisky you should get a single malt

I do agree with you that this one is over priced and more often than not I do go for a single malt rather than a blend but for people who can afford this regularly, they do love it and I can understand that as well. It is a tasty, non complicated, silky dram. To each his own I suppose. Cheers 🥃
