Hi just started watching your videos there excellent. I’m a Scotsmen JWblue label is excellent stuff. I worked in a glass bottle factory that made the bottles for the blue label and you wouldn’t believe the steps taken to insure every bottle is flawless the blue colouring and thickness of the glass is very hard to achieve and unfortunately it’s the main reason a 70cl bottle will set you back anywhere from £130 to £150 Now don’t get me wrong I’m a sucker for presentation I would love it if JW just used cheaper bottles and sold the blue labe at around about £90-£100 it would still be very expensive for me personally but I could push the boat out know and again 😂 Love and peace from Bonny Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 slàinte 🥃

Just bought a bottle tonight for $180 at my local wine and liquor wholesaler. Worth every penny in my opinion. Delicious aroma, ridiculously smooth, and very flavorful without the intense burn. Definitely my favorite label of the brand. Cheers to jim for creating this masterpiece.

Just got my first bottle of Blue Label, been watching your videos a long time Horst, big fan of your commentary and style. Cracked it open to celebrate my new job offer today. Amazing.

Un elisir 🚬...

I tried the blue label yesterday I thought the same. I've had shots in New York. Today I had four shots in California it is a really consistent whiskey. The blue label is a type of whiskey that I like to drink at least once a year on a wonderful occasion. I would highly recommend it.

This is by far the best blend I've had, the taste is very unique and absolutely delicious.

Much rather have 4 full 70cl bottles of: Lagavulin16, Ardbeg10 & 2 Glenfiddich15's

If my father were still around id buy him a bottle of johnnie walker blue label, not because its the best whisky for that price range but because he'd recognize it. Thats why still blue label exists in the age of the internet

Un elissir

There are several decent Johnnies for the price - Black is fantastic for as little as $27. Green is a blended malt and excellent for about $43. And I really like the 18 for its caramel, smoke and butterscotch. Blue clearly has very old whisky and is interesting, but I agree with others here that at $150 it's not a good value. If it had a 21 year age statement or more I'd give it more credit. And I love the slick mouthfeel. It's well put together. But when you can get Talisker 18 (and a hundred others) for less, you just can't justify it.

My mother got one as a gift a month ago, and we've decided to open it in December 31st. I bought a cheap blended scotch and a Single malted Glennfiddich 12 so I can compare when the time comes. Thank you so much for your reviews and for introducing the world of whiskies to us 🙋🏽‍♂️

Johnny Walker's own Green label is, if anything, just as good if not better than Blue at 40%, but you'd get three bottles of Green at 43% ABV for the price of one Blue (in New Zealand, $230.) So I'll stick with Green for a treat and Vat 69 ($46 for 1 litre) as a daily dram.

Unfortunately for the price there are too many better whisky available.

The Double Black is also very good.

mentira es solo un elisir y nada mas

I bought this for my Dad because he said he wanted it.

The best value Johnnie Walker is by far the Green Label. It is superb. Don't get me wrong, Platinum and Blue are fantastic, but the Green at 1/2 and less than 1/3 the price respectively, Green Label is a no-brainer.

I have no idea why I got this recommendation..

We bought one when my uncle died, nice way to celebrate his life.

Luening Host Luening is my whisky hero!

I worked in William Grants and sons in Scotland. I could produce a bottle of whiskey and send it to France and purchase it from France cheaper than I could out of the staff shop at William Grants. Most of the money went to the government

Aside from the hype that comes with this scotch, it is a very well balanced whiskey. Very smooth with the touch of smoke. Amazing! "If you can find it in the 4 pack for 100$ us it's a steal"

I was able to find this in 750ml at Costco on sale for $125 one day a couple of years ago I HAD to get one

Es un elixir

In 2020 Johnny Walker turns 200. I can’t wait for the commemorative offering.

Chivas regal 18 is the best alternative, also blended for 50-60€

Really love the oak forward flavor of blue label. This might be my favorite dram. So we’ll balanced, in my opinion.

When I visited a friend in peru this stuff was hot there

I prefer the Green.

Wow he changed the mic ! It's not the same 😢

This guy is like a German Christopher Walken. I love these videos.

I just drank blue label today and i got this recommended by KZfaq. Wow.

Flashback from my days at United Airlines during the 1990s ...Blue Label was "free" ....if one paid $3000+ USD for first class, each way, from the USA to Asia

That's def a John deer in the background

Had JW Blue Label for the first time last night. JW Green Label had been my favorite JW but I must say the Blue Label has taken my #1 spot of the JW line now.

I tried this when I visited my uncle and can say that it's the smoothest to swallow of all the JW (except the green label which i haven't tasted yet) But Double Black for me is worth every penny. Cheers!

The new 40% abv was good but I like the old 43% abv more 😊

It's a $300 bottle here in Canada. I've heard it is very good, but just not quite $300 good. I haven't had the pleasure as yet, so I can't say, personally.

We JUST reviewed this. Nice stuff for sure, but not something we would actually buy as it's almost too easy drinking for our taste. That being said, we'd gladly drink it if you poured us a dram. Nice review! Cheers!

This is the best blend of all time, trust me.

blue label is a commercial success that is all.. you can buy much much better with the half price of that whisky.it is not bad but not worth that money

Lovely whiskey and beautiful submarine

you look like raymond reddingtons father

It is an irony that this super expensive whiskey doesnt have any age statement and does contain grain whiskey.

I wish you would make a video about your preferred alcohol percentage in whisky. And whether this changes depending on the style (Highland, Islay, Bourbon..etc.)

Love the Green Label but can’t justify the price of this one.... maybe one day I’ll try it

@5:04 I was waiting on that part 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤

Like The Macallan 18 the Johnnie Walker Blue Label tastes great, however that price point......

What glass are you using in the video?

Horst, you look like my father-in-law who got me into whisky. Loving your videos.

Blue label is my favorite but im not going to frequently drop 170$ on a bottle :P green label is my casual go to. blue label is for when the good best friends come over.

The Blue is an absolute delight! I can only speak for myself and say that I prefer Johnnie Walker to any other whiskey. I have not tried every whiskey out there but I have tried all the ones people talk about and johnnie is my favorite. Though I would choose the ultimate 18 for a daily drinker.

currently its priced at €254 or $277!

I’m dying to try a bottle. TotalWine has it right now for $149. For the time being, I’m going have to settle for the JW Gold label. Good review otherwise.

I love blue whiskey is the pride of Scotland.

A fine whisky indeed, but I do not appreciate that for the sake of a special bottle design they compromised the volume. I don't care about the thickness of the glass, I paid to enjoy the whisky.

I bought this bottle for my Dad's 70th birthday. I got it purely for the name. I'm sure there's better for the price but the Blue Label is just cooler.

From what I hear about this as much as i'd love to try it, it's just not worth the price apparently. Can find way better single malts for way cheaper lol. Cool video though, I'll live vicariously through your tasting. From what I was told, it smells great but the taste is lacking.

🇩🇴 Shout out to all the Dominicans buying all the blue label on the planet

Haters can hate but i like blue label. Especially bought on sale at Costco

Yea, I went out to eat once and the place happened to have this drink and it was way more expensive than the dinner altogether. And it was only just a cup full, not even a full bottle.

Horst. You opened it wrong. You supposed to pull upwards from the string thingy. That will break the seal.

I was super disappointed in JW Blue Label, personally. I didn't like it at all. I found Green Label to be much more enjoyable, even pretty good. But, for the most part, I just don't care for Johnnie Walker. I do enjoy your reviews, Mr. Luening. Thank you.

Didn't take the last sip eh? Go figure. I would like to taste that but my favorite, JW black 12, would remain, I suspect. Never had a chance to taste that. Though I've tasted much more expensive stuff, I never had the urge to pay premium for a blend with only 40% ABV.

Around 320$ here in Dehradun, India.

As of 2024 $250 and up here in Las Vegas. Every where.

Which glass do you use? It looks like Glencairn but with a comfortable bottom to grip.

Blue label 🍻❤😍

Rumor is that the the barrels used are at least 32 years aged.

It's around 240-250 euros in Croatia at the moment. Never bought it, since it's far above what my budget allows, and never tasted it, but it seems far overpriced for a NAS blended whisky. Maybe I'm wrong, though...

Nice whisky 🥃

I tried the blue once, I wasn't that much impressed, maybe it was the Macallan 21 right afterward that really caught my attention. BTW, JWB makes me think of that fat actor from Casablanca, Sydney Greenstreet. Very worldly, cosmopolitan and refined but so round as to have no edges whatsoever!

People are comparing blended whisky to single malts 🤦🏼‍♂️.. Here’s a challenge for you. Try to find a better blended cheaper. And no JW Green Label is not blended, it’s blended malt yet another animal.

This is what Grandma drank. I didn’t know at the time how expensive it was.

I’m a Mad Dog 20/20 kinda guy..

Sir I appreciate

I’ve try it and is really nice but even I’m Welty I’m not going to pay 100+ euro ... simple just buy green label and enjoy !!!

Thid gentleman is a gentleman you would want to just sit with and not get drunk and just open the finest wines ever made by man

I've a doubt . Does Blue label has different varieties ???

this guy has my dream job

Lovely smooth whisky. Great review.

lol. It’s as smooth as the late frummer suits!!! Be careful with this one as it is very smooth and easy to drink. Slainte!

Buy this one or the Highland Park 18?

Cost $300+ USD in India

Chivas Regal 18 It is better alternative and low cost 😉

Very good review

Ideal for people with more money than sense, or who want to buy a bottle of status to impress with. If you simply love whisky there are much better ways to spend that money.

Beautiful bottle OK taste

Going by Sir's Review..... , a #Diplomaticoscigar will pair well.

$50 good

It's great with a cigar...

I've never bought a bottle myself, but I've had it in first class on Singapore Airlines and Asiana Airlines. Not impressed. I switched to the single malt on offer straight away.

Hey can you try Macdonald's Glencoe?

Any statements with “just as good” or “for the money” etc. is a self-defeating argument. For the money you cant beat Old Grandads…but EH Taylor is inarguably better.

nicevideo bravo!

Nice....

How about a budlight ?

JW Blue is to your tongue like Pavarotti is to your ears.

It's $300 a bottle here in 🇨🇦 🍁

When i will by this bottle, i will drink it all !!!
