Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year Of The Dog Limited Edition Blended Scotch Whisky

Unleash a festive spirit with Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year Of The Dog Blended Scotch Whisky. Released in 2018 to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year, this limited-edition gem from Diageo’s Johnnie Walker stable dazzles at 86 proof. Crafted by Master Blender Jim Beveridge, this blend combines rare whiskies, including those from long-closed “ghost” distilleries, to recreate the bold, 19th-century style of Johnnie and Alexander Walker. The bottle, designed by Taiwanese artist Page Tsou, bursts with vibrant lanterns, fireworks, and four dogs symbolizing prosperity in Asian culture. Sip it neat to savor its velvety depth or mix it for a cocktail with flair. Ever tasted a whisky this celebratory? This collector’s treasure, with only a limited run for travel retail, is a vibrant nod to the Year of the Dog. Grab it before it bounds away!

Nose: Hazelnuts and honey swirl with sherry and orange zest. A whisper of smoke and sandalwood teases the senses. It’s rich and inviting.

Palate: Dark chocolate and kumquats burst forth, joined by creamy vanilla and dried fruits. Gentle pepper and toffee add a silky complexity.

Finish: Soft smoke and pecan pie linger, fading into a long, smooth glow of figs and spice.

Pair this whisky with roasted duck—the sweetness loves the savory char. Want a bite? Try stilton; its boldness lifts the fruit notes. For dessert, a gingerbread tart echoes the palate’s spice. Feeling festive? Smoked salmon with honey glaze ties the smokiness into a joyful dance.
