I used to live in South Florida and when I was driving to Miami for work I would pass a billboard on I-95 for Blue Label that read, “Not everyone makes it to Blue”. To me, that it sounded a lot like “Fuck you. You can’t afford this.” Blue Label is a well-marketed brand by Diageo that is very recognizable to people and equates its self to the good life. I believe if you like it, drink it, but for me, I struggle to like this whisky based on the price and taste. Please do not get me wrong, it is very good whisky but not good enough for me with respect to the price and I can afford to buy it. In my opinion there are easily a dozen whisky’s that I would prefer to Blue Label that cost less and are better suited to my palate. Blue is a blend, with no age statement, and which particular whisky it is blended with and their ages is very debatable. I could rant for a while on this one but instead I will close with this last comment. If you are a Wall Street type person (translation: you got a lot of money), you should know this whisky, order it at a bar, have it in your office, home, apartment, penthouse, Hampton Estate and give it as a gift to clients and co-workers.
Price ranges from $190 to $225.
Note: See Johnnie Walker 4 Pack Review for a smaller taste of Blue.
