The Gold Label was first introduced in the year 1920. It was the 100th anniversary of the Johnnie Walker brand. It comes with no age statement and 40% ABV. It is a rather mild Scotch with creamy notes with the addition of honey and vanilla.
The Blue label is one of the premium bottlings of Johnnie Walker. It also comes with no age statement and 40% ABV. But the Blend includes some very old Scotch whiskies.
