Johnnie Walker Legendary Eight
15 December 2020

2020 marks 200 years since John Walker first threw open the doors to a small grocery store in rural Scotland, beginning a journey that would take Johnnie Walker to the four corners of the world. This new limited-edition release of Johnnie Walker Blue Label is a rare jewel crafted using Scotch from the legendary distilleries of Oban, Blair Athol, Lagavulin, Teaninich, Brora, Cambus, Port Dundas and Carsebridge. A small team of 12 whisky makers were inspired by rare whiskies from these iconic and pioneering distilleries to create this exceptional new Johnnie Walker blend.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Legendary Eight is a smooth, mellow scotch made using some of the rarest whiskies from across the untamed wilds of Scotland. Each whisky is hand selected from eight of the distilleries that existed when John Walker made the first steps on his journey 200 years ago.    Read More

Tasting note:
On the nose, the blend is rich with layers of brown sugars, soft-fruit, and sweet wood. These flavours evolve to reveal hints of green apple and a subtle zest; complementing the gentle peat unfolding in the background to give an overarching warming sensation. On the palate there is a wonderful sweetness that envelops the taste buds, with notes of stone fruits, stewing apples and cocoa. The finish is soft and lightly peppered with a wisp of smoke to deepen the flavour.
