Johnnie Walker Blue Label Legendary Eight Review
Celebrating Johnnie Walker’s landmark 200th anniversary, this release contains a blend of whiskies sourced from eight iconic Scottish distilleries, all of which feature on the bottle. More than just a nod to the world’s most-famous Scotch brand’s history, this whisky is a love letter to the entire category. Each sniff and sip delivers sweet malt, earth, oak, and a subtle hint of smoke in one perfectly composed blend. While an undoubtedly pricey “greatest hits” album, this bottle serves as a momentus piece of history.
