Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year Of The Ox

The Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year Of The Ox Limited Edition Blended Scotch Whisky is a celebratory release for the Lunar New Year 2021, intricately illustrated by award-winning Chinese artist Shirley Gong. This edition is part of Johnnie Walker's Zodiac Collection, highlighting the Year of the Ox, a symbol of wealth, prosperity, diligence, and perseverance. The whisky itself is a premium blend, selected from only 1 in 10,000 casks from Johnnie Walker's extensive reserves of over 10 million maturing whiskies, including rare casks from long-closed "ghost" distilleries​​​.

The nose of this special edition whisky is described as fruity, with touches of oak, cedar, and spice, leading to a balanced and supple palate featuring notes of dried fruits, honey, sweet spice, and hints of smoke. The finish is smoky, floral, and oaky, with lingering aromas of dried fruit, spice, and honey. This rich, complex, and flavorful dram stands out for its velvety smoothness, crafted from the finest single malt and grain whiskies​​.

This limited edition release not only celebrates the cultural significance of the Lunar New Year but also showcases Johnnie Walker's mastery in blending, offering a unique and sophisticated whisky experience. Given its limited availability, it's a coveted addition for collectors and whisky enthusiasts alike.
