For decades, Johnnie Walker Blue Label whisky has been the bottle people reach for when an occasion deserves more. It has marked milestones, sealed deals and ended up as the gift that says everything without saying much. This festive season, it speaks with an Indian accent. The Johnnie Walker Blue Label Indian Festive Blend whisky brings spice-led celebration to the glass, with cardamom, saffron and rosewater alongside honey and gentle smoke. It now joins the wider Blue Label family, including the classic Blue Label, Ghost and Rare, Elusive Glenury Royal, Umami, Year of the Snake and Legendary Eight. Take a look at all seven Blue Label whisky bottles, with their prices in India, ABV, tasting notes and more.
