Johnnie Walker Blue Label The Cask Edition, Bottle No CE4 42264, 1 litre, 55.8% alc/vol, boxed;

The Johnnie Walker Blue Label The Cask Edition is a high-strength variation of the classic Blue Label, bottled at 55.8% ABV. This edition enhances the depth and intensity of the original blend, making it a bold yet refined whisky.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Starts off light, then intensifies with butterscotch, vanilla syrup, fresh oak, sawdust, and dark fruit like blackcurrant wine gums.

Palate: Surprisingly sweet for its strength, with a toffee-like profile, followed by a sherbety feel and drying spices.

Finish: Dry and spicy, with a nutty aftertaste.

This edition is well-structured and benefits from a small dash of water to soften its edges. It was released in 2012 and remains a collector’s item
