A private label bottling for Mizunara. Heavily peated malt in a Bourbon barrel. Color: Light gold Nose: Dive your nose into the glass expecting heaps of smoke and you will be pleasantly surprised with a vanilla, malty nose. Add some water...smoke smoke smoke. Don't forget to nose this whisky even after you have finished the whisky in the glass. Palate: The sweet vanilla and malty flavours are rounded off by some star anise and spicy peppers as we roll the whisky in our mouth. The spices are very evident and the vanilla become pronounced with addition of a few drops of water. Salty caramel, anyone! Finish: Stays in the back of the tongue and slows creeps into the back of the throat with a lingering salt & spice in the mouth.

This is an early 1990s bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, originally derived from the ultra‑rare “Johnnie Walker Oldest” blend that preceded the modern Blue Label expression. Blue Label is the ultimate luxury Scotch whisky, and supplies are limited by the rarity and expense of the whiskies used in the blend. Around 15 other mature and precious whiskies are added to balance Blue Label perfectly—“a blend that cannot be beat” (Alexander Walker, 1888). The label carries the Royal Warrant by Appointment to HM The Queen.

A rare old bottling of Johnnie Walker Red Label, estimated to have been bottled in the 1970s for the Japanese market. It was bottled at 43% ABV, slightly higher than the modern 40% ABV, and bottles like this often appear at auctions or specialized vintage whisky retailers. Given the likely bottling period in the 1970s (i.e. before the famous Whisky Loch in Scotland which forced many distilleries to close) it most likely contains some rare and closed distilleries. A great window into historic past of Scotch.

The label features the classic color Striding Man motif: a flamboyant Victorian‑style figure in a bright red coat, top hat, and boots, often outlined or highlighted in gold or yellow to contrast against the red‑background label. This full‑color style is characteristic of Red Label bottles from the 1960s–1970s and differs clearly from later, more minimalist black‑and‑white iterations of the logo.
