Master Blender Dr. Emma Walker built it from Blue Label's reserves, where only around one cask in ten thousand is judged exceptional enough to be considered, and blended toward a specific brief: the flavours and character of India. What that means in practice is a Blue Label that behaves differently from the one people know. Fragrant cardamom and saffron arrive early, followed by delicate rosewater and bright citrus, then the honeyed richness and chocolate dipped fruit the range is built on, with warming spice running underneath and a gentle wisp of smoke closing it out. The signature velvety texture is intact, but the aromatic top end is considerably more expressive. It is bottled at 40.8 percent alcohol by volume, a deliberate step above the standard Blue Label strength, which gives the spice and floral notes the structure to carry rather than fade. The limited edition packaging is worth a look in its own right: colours and patterns woven across a seamless illustrated design that shifts as light moves across it, intended to reflect India's diversity of flavour and expression. Johnnie Walker suggests two serves for it, a Saffron Glow Old Fashioned stirred with saffron infused honey syrup and orange bitters, and the Gilded Drop. It also drinks beautifully neat or over a single large cube, where the cardamom and rosewater have room to open. A limited seasonal release and a strong gifting bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40.8%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e81.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScotland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJohnnie Walker (Diageo)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaster Blender\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDr. Emma Walker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCategory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlended Scotch Whisky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpression\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Label Festive Blend, Limited Edition Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrawn from Blue Label reserves, where approximately one cask in 10,000 is selected\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistilled, blended and bottled in Scotland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInspiration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe flavours and spirit of India\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBottle Code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCRD005\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep golden amber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fragrant cardamom and saffron lead, with delicate rosewater and bright citrus lifting above honeyed richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold and balanced.
