Johnnie Walker Blue Label

Instead of starting a whole new thread about it, I figured I'd just add it in here. JW Blue King George V Edition... just saw a small write up in CA about it. And with the price they're quoting, that's all I ever will see. But Ray, what makes it so special?
 
The King George V edition is packaged in a crystal decater, limited to just 4,000 bottles and is comprised of whisky from distilleries that were operating when Johnnie Walker got it's Royal Warrent From King George V in 1934. Slightly different then the standard version of Blue. You can find it for about $400 if you look hard enough.

Forgot to add that it is fairly cheap compared to the 200th Anniversary Cask Strength bottling which will set you back about $2500.
 
I just had the chance to try Blue for the first time last Friday night. I was in Atlantic City with my friends for the weekend and we went to Bally's Blue Martini bar to check out the ice bar. (which was cool :cool:) I noticed they had Gold & Blue right away, as I have been wanting to try them for some time now. It's been at least two years I have been enjoying Johnnie Walker and haven't been any where that had anything above Black. So I was pretty psyched, then I realized I better ask for the price of a glass for Blue......just in case as it was AC. So it was $50 for a glass on the rocks, at first I thought for a 1/4 of the price; the hell with it, I'll just a buy a dang bottle to try. Then I thought you know what, I am here on a nice vacation with some great friends, we're having a great time, and so why not cap the trip with a good memory of being able to try something I have been waiting 2 years for. And that was it, I got to try Blue and loved it. Every last drop was smoother than I could imagine. I'm not really good with discerning tastes when it comes to Scotch yet, but it was the most flavorful, lasting, and smoothest tasting Scotch I have had the luxury of trying. And did I mention flavorful and smooth. Oh, and long lasting taste......I think it is still lingering on the back of my throat!

Gold was good too. :laugh:
 
$50 bucks on the rocks!!!!!you gotta treat yourself good man but holy shit. Bought a bottle a few years back for $149 and it is great scotch but 1 glass....I guess you only live once.
 
At $50 a glass that bar is making some damn good money off that stuff. They sell one bottle and can afford to buy like 3 to replace the one.
 
For anyone looking for a special bottle the KIng George V Edition won't disappoint. It goes down silky smooth with a little more peat and smoke than the regular Blue Label. I need to buy another bottle.
 
Just bought a bottle in N.H. $169 out the door.Gonna wait to x-mas eve to open her.
 
Bought a bottle on NYE for about $135 in Pasadena. There was a JW promo and a marketing rep was there (she was quite attractive). She engraved the bottle it the store for me too.

Blue is a treat and really something special. I like the presentation box too. Going to try the KIng George V Edition sometime.
