Johnnie Walker Blue Label Tom Dixon

Johnnie Walker Blue Label was originally released as ‘Johnnie Walker Oldest’ in 1992 before the expression was rebranded in 1994. Blue Label was first blended to recreate the character and invoke the flavours of classic early 19th century whisky blends, combining casks sourced from malt and grain distilleries from the four corners of Scotland. This can even include casks from ‘ghost’ distilleries that are now lost and demolished. It is unknown exactly which rare distillery’s casks are included in the expression. However, the blend’s core single malts are supplied from the Benrinnes, Cardhu, Clynelish, and Caol Ila distilleries. Blue Label’s main grain whisky components are sourced from Cameronbridge and the now-demolished Port Dundas Distillery. As each cask used to create Blue Label is selected by Johnnie Walker’s master blender, the blend is only produced in small batches with each bottle numbered serially. The whisky is packaged in a silk-lined presentation box accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

In 2017, Blue Label’s global limited edition was produced in collaboration with critically acclaimed British fashion designer, Tom Dixon OBE. The Blue Label: Tom Dixon release was presented in a bespoke copper presentation cage designed by Dixon, and decorated with the ‘Striding Man’ emblem evoking the pot stills used for distillation; with the release launched in conjunction with Milan Fashion Week.
