It won't give you acid reflux nor gastritis 🚬

It is a very velvety whisky, I'm glad you like it 🥃

@@thewhiskyenthusiastTheyre quoting a meme. 😂💪🏽

@@faketemptation Yes I now learned and watched that meme thanks to one of my viewers 😂

It is pretty 😃🥃

Ahahaahaahahahhahahhhahhaahhaaha

Very thoughtful gift, lucky kids 😃 Yeah give it a shot I think you might like it 🥃

I am now very familiar with this meme 😃🥃

That's a very generous gift! You're lucky in friends just as I am 😃🥃

Ah man thank you that's awesome to know 😁 Exactly! If you focus purely on the dram it's beautiful but we can't separate the price from it so I get the hate.

Agree. It's 100% because of the price. JW Blue is amazing. I've given it to people who claim to hate whiskey and scotch and suddenly they don't mind it. It's the smoothest scotch I've ever had.

Glad you enjoyed it, sounds like a happy night 😃🥃

I'm not surprised, it is a pretty easy sipper :)

Glad you liked it, I also think it's a beautiful sipper. Just so damn expensive but hey, so many great malts out there. Cheers!

It is very very enjoyable to drink yes

I hope your dream comes true one day 🥃

Dream, Dream big.

It is delicate and beautiful, that's a very nice way to put it. Cheers 🥃

That's one way of looking at it 😅

Yeah spread over a few years, the price could be justified :)

Blue Label is for a special occasion indeed!

M8, that's an argentinian meme​@@thewhiskyenthusiast

@@armenianwolf5755 Yeah someone did eventually explain after seeing me struggle to find new things to say to people who comment "it's an elixir" 😅

I wouldn't know about that as I don't smoke but I'll take your word for it 🥃

I'm glad you like it. I know a lot of people who buy it just for 'show' whether they like the taste or not. Price and taste is subjective and who am I to argue with you if you say it earns every penny you spend on it :) Thanks for checking in and enjoy your Blue Label friend 🥃

@@thewhiskyenthusiast I absolutely agree with you. I’m not sure if it’s worth every penny, all I know is I’ve never tasted anything as good as it at a lower price point. I’ve had many different types of expensive liquors that I quickly stopped buying cause I noticed something was better at a cheaper price, but I’ve yet to have that happen with JW Blue. But who knows! Maybe someday I will and I’ll realize it was highly overpriced. As of now, it’s the best I’ve ever tried. Thanks and have a great holiday! 🥃

There you go then! If you can afford to got the best whisky you've tried it is a very lucky thing. Keep on getting and enjoying it, I'm happy for you :) happy holidays ahead to you and yours as well 😃@@DaCake2

I am very happy to be the herald of good times my friend 😁🥃 Note to self: Never post on Sundays 😂

There you go! If you like it and you think it's worth it then great, enjoy away my friend 😃🥃

Can't fault any part of this sentence, you're absolutely right. To be fair to JW though, the Blue Label only came out to be a luxury gift, not to be dissected by actual enthusiasts 😄

Turkish my friend and I'm glad you like the content

@@thewhiskyenthusiast👍

Yeah the juice is good, I'm not gonna argue with that and if you or anyone else is ok for having this on the shelf all the time then absolutely good on you 😃 Cheers

Cheers! Yeah the hate it receives is mostly due to the price. I agree that it's a very nice sipper for a fraction of it's price.

Thank you 😃 That is a Penderyn (Welsh Whiskey) single malt limited edition bottling for the famous Welsh opera singer Sir Bryn Terfel. You can read about the story on my Instagram page @thewhiskyenthusiast if you're interested 😃🥃

Yeah it's all about preferences isn't it 🥃

Thank you 😃 Yeah I can do a short about it but if you want, there's a reel I made on Instagram. My username is the same @thewhiskyenthusiast Happy New Year 🥃

😅 It really is a good trick to get different notes 😃🥃

Yes it is a very enjoyable dram to drink, I just don't enjoy the price :)

Wow 117 bottles of JW, that's impressive! When you say you're getting rid of it do you mean you're selling your collection?

@@thewhiskyenthusiast Yes .Got the Entire Ghost and Rare .Blade Runner. 3 Blue label Bottles from the Ninteties .Odyssey. I could go on .So many luxury bottles and bottles from America and the Far East you have never saw before..1997 I started .its time to pass it on to someone else .Merry Christmas Sir .SLANJ

@@davidcochrane9287 Wow that is a cool collection well done. All of those could fetch a pretty price in the auctions. Merry Christmas to you and yours 🥃

I completely agree with you! There are so many amazing whiskies out there, why would you pay through the teeth for this. If you do come across it though I would recommend trying it as it actually is blended in a beautiful way and is quite tasty. If I may suggest some good priced and really tasty blends I would recommend Cutty Sark 18, Johnnie Walker Black Label Islay Origin, Johhnie Walker 10 Select Cask Rye Finish, Chivas Mizunara and one of my favourites Ballantine's 17. Enjoy 🥃

@@thewhiskyenthusiast if I were to buy a blended whisky it would probably be a compass box.cheers Andrew

There are those who will also say the Chivas Royal Salute is better than the Johnnie Walker Blue and at a much lower price too. Personally I bought a JW Blue at duty free a couple of years back. While it was good, I didn't find it impressive, so much hype around it, and expensive. Definitely not a re-buy for me even at duty free price. The Japanese Hibiki Harmony (even with no age statement) , IMHO tastes smoother and better. (and also cheaper).

Another gift from a friend! I have good friends 😃🥃

Yeah I like the Green a lot but it is a blended malt which kind of makes sense. My wallet definitely likes the Green Label better 😅

You've hit the nail on the head! Really good taste, beautiful to drink but you just can't not consider the price and when you do it all goes down :) Thanks for your input 🥃

Had a glass some time ago and I have to say I really enjoyed it, very solid whisky would love to get my hands on a new bottle

Glad you liked it, most people do. It's just the price which puts people off.@@barno978

Would you mind suggesting some scotches you’ve had that you think are better? As of now JW Blue is the best I’ve ever had, so in sorta forced into paying that much until I come across something I like more.

Oh wow what words! Thank you so much, it's awesome to know that you're enjoying my videos 😃 Please let me know if you want me to review something for you and if I have it I will do it. Cheers 🥃

I wouldn't know about 'kicking in' but the general consensus is leave a whisky in the glass at least a minute for every year it's been matured. We know there are some old stocks in the Blue Label but we just don't know the exact age so yeah 10 20 would make a difference to the spirit. If you can, have a sip when you first pour, think about it, then another sip after 10, then after 20 and so on to see how it evolves. This way you can find your own sweet space 😃 Thanks for watching

Haha yes it is, I need some help finishing some old bottles to make room for new ones! I asked a very talented carpenter friend of mine to build it after my wife designed it. I'm very lucky in wife and friends department :)))

@@thewhiskyenthusiast Indeed you are 💙🧿

Thank you 😃🥃

If it's a bottle your grandmother purchased back in the 90's it might worth something but if it's a modern bottle gifted to you then I'd say just enjoy the taste. They produce so much Blue Label, it's hardly going to be a collector's item, especially the standard ones. Hope this helps, cheers!

Your wallet should thank your palate 😃

I wouldn't recommend alcohol nor other substances for sleep. I hope you don't use alcohol for coping with sleeplessness as it will disturb your sleep even more. I highly recommend meditation. Hope you find peaceful sleep soon.

@@thewhiskyenthusiast that's ok meditation but ...during sleeping many thinking process so that bit small amount of alcohol gives bit sedation not more alcohol..10 to 5 ml like that ..and does wine can help in this ????

No not the first time. One of my best friends absolutely loves this stuff so whenever I visit him I drink it there and yes I do have another one :) Well you 'drink' your whisky however you want. With or without ice, as a mixer, however. This one can handle a bit of ice due to the high malt content but being 40% it's very easy to drown it if you put too much. For tasting though you kinda need to have it neat or with some water to dissect the taste profile and notes. Hope this helps, cheers 🥃

You couldn't have summarised it better. An absolute flex whisky that I personally would not pay for but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. Cheers 🥃

What are some whiskies you recommend?

Unfortunately whisky doesn't age in the bottle so the Blue Label you had in the 1990s is still the same age if this is what you mean. If not you have a very cool whisky that was one of the first bottlings of the brand. It probably will sell for good money on auctions also I'm pretty sure it'll taste great :) Thanks for sharing 🥃

Good question. The platinum is discontinued and yeah it was a great dram if you can find it. I think it is now the 18 which is also very tasty! If there's a massive price difference I'd go for the 18, if not I'd give Blue a shot as it really is a great drinker. Hope this help, cheers 😃🥃

I can't say better or worse it's completely up to you but they're very different from each other. Green Label is a blended malt which have peated Caol Ila and the robust character of Clynelish with Linkwood and Cragganmore, whereas the Blue Label is a blended whisky which has soft and light grain whisky in it. Green Label is a more hefty dram compared to the easy flowing style of the Blue Label. Hope this answers your question.

Thanks! It does and thanks for the video. I decided that I should learn more and graduate the cheap blended stuff. Cheers.

I can see you have strong opinions toward it and I completely understand. I would never suggest this as a good buy. I would only say if you don't think about the price, whether you have so much money or it was a gift like mine, it is a well blended whisky. The finish for me was not short and more towards the long end of medium but everyone's palate is different and this is why the whisky journey and talk is so much fun, there is no right or wrong😃 Thank you for your input. Cheers 🥃

Could you recommend some?

@@kevingonzalez8718 Clynelish 14, Johnny Walker Green Label (It's better than the Blue), Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie, Bunnahabhain 12 . . . all amazing whiskys for under £50

I haven’t come across better. Can you name some you think are better at the price point you suggested? I’d like to try them.

Hahahha yeah it took a subscriber to make me understand what was going on 😂

Yup, me too.

Hah brilliant 👏 Harmful to your pocket is right! You're absolutely right, it's a nice whisky but not that nice to pay that much!

A lot better

Red label is paint stripper compared to the blue

@@James-C-Callan 😂 true that

Not surprised, it is a tasty tasty dram. Cheers! 😃 🥃

😂

and what a wager that was ⛵️🥃

Evet, merhaba 😃🖐🥃

@@thewhiskyenthusiast Vote well, we don't want war. Cheers from Greece.

@@Maximilian-Robespierre No one wants war ✌

Enjoy 😃🥃

It is a good one 🥃

I don't think it's an offensive whisky but I agree with that price tag, it should be higher abv. I would love to try the cask strength version one day. Cheers 🥃

@@thewhiskyenthusiast my favorite cask strength blue label is the Ghost & Rare Brora edition. Well worth the price.

😅🥃

It's definitely not you Christine, it is an expensive whisky. A very well made blend but a blend nonetheless which won't ever come close to the beauty of a good malt whisky. It's good to try though if you receive it as a gift :)

@@thewhiskyenthusiast I am so appreciative to have received this whisky as a gift! It was very kind and very expensive when gifted to me but now it's so much more $$! Yikes! Hey I enjoyed some Ardbeg An Oa last night! It's hard to get here but showed up in a special release event at our BC Liquor Stores in my province. Quite nice! I always love the smoke! Have an awesome day!! Loving the Lagavulin Offerman 11 4th Edition!! Cheers!! 🙂

@@christinecamley Yes I was as well to receive it as a gift, good that we have generous friends 😃 The An Oa is a decent dram actually but I think it gets lost within the core range of Ardbeg in my opinion. Glad you like the Lagavulin Christine, have an awesome day yourself

Taste is a very subjective thing and as long as you enjoy what you're drinking that's all that matters :)

😂👏🥃

I do agree with you that this one is over priced and more often than not I do go for a single malt rather than a blend but for people who can afford this regularly, they do love it and I can understand that as well. It is a tasty, non complicated, silky dram. To each his own I suppose. Cheers 🥃
