"Blue Label™ is the ultimate luxury Scotch Whisky and supplies of Blue Label™ are limited by the rarity and expense of the whiskies used in the blend. At the heart of Blue Label™ is Royal Lochnagar™a rare malt distilled near Balmoral, the Queen's holiday home. Around 15 other mature and precious whiskies are added to balance Blue Label™ perfectly - 'a blend that cannot be beat' (Alexander Walker, 1888).

Master Blender's notes:

Nose: Harmonious and perfectly balanced; hints of smokiness and a real depth of sherry character, with hints of raisins and toasted nuts.

Palate: Hugely flavourful with a rich peatiness, deep smoke and traces of spice. Develops into intense flavours of oak, dark-chocolate and rich home-made Dundee cake. Characteristics from the Cardhu distillery, Benrinnes™ and other Speyside malts combine to provide the rich sherry and oak flavours. Royal Lochnagar™ from the tiny Highland distillery gives a rich sweetness with hints of freshness. Mature grains give an oak and vanilla character, while Caol Ila™ brings the deep, pungent spice and smoke.

Finish: Well balanced, long and intense, with hints of smoke, Islay seaweed and vintage oaks."
