I know you're all single-malt guys...

...but, have you ever tasted Johnny Walker Blue Label? It's a whole different animal than the red or black, and smoother than the green or gold.

I had my first taste of the stuff last weekend and I love it. It's a blend, but it's all malt - no other grain alcohol mixed in. It's 24 years old. My, it's tasty.

It's pricey stuff and I won't be drinking it often. I was given a bottle as a thank-you gift. A generous gift it is!

Johnny Blue is good stuff. Neat or on the rocks wirh a light splash are my favorite ways of taking it.

it isn't bad, although I prefer the peaty flavor of an Islay single malt!

Many guys do. I don't like the smoky peat flavor, which is why I've always preferred Irish whiskey to Scotch.

I've never had the blue, only the Black and the Red. I'd like to try the others, but I've got to get a really good job first!

Never had "the Blue" I can't see spending $225.00 for whiskey when there are kilts to be had. One day though. It was a very generous gift. {Who did you have to kill?}

Spoken like a true Fraser

I've tried the blue, and it was really good. I just savored the flavor and enjoyed that fact that I wasn't paying for it.

Personally, for that price, I'd take a good single malt since there are so many.

Never have had "the Blue" & probably never will unless, like you, it's a gift.

There's other things I'd want for the last thing I'd ever buy - cuz if I ever spent that much on a bottle of whisky, my wife would KILL me!!!

wee correction Bob...

JW Blue is a very guid blend- but it IS a blend...

there is grain alcohol in it....

JW Green is the yin they mak that is a' malt (vatted malt- no single malt)

Blue contains some very auld an guid malts... shame they mix them wi' grain....

some malts included arr- Talisker, Cragganmore, Linkwood, Caol Ila...

fur the price- yur better aff buyin a bottle o' each o' the malts that went in it....
