Des Walker goes by Johnnie Walker Whisky.
no Premium whiskey from JW starts at black label, then green label, then gold label, and FINALLY, the holiest of holy: blue label. I personally like the green label the best, for its intensity. If you want the smoothest Johnny Walker, then get the black. You won't be disappointed!
black label is considered better because it's an older versionthe red label is not that smooth
Johnnie Walker White Label was discontinued during World War I - around 1909. So it's an extremely old Whisky but was made at a relatively cheap price. I recently got one from a friend of mine who picked it up from a Duty Free shop at an airport.
He died my eating way too much apples! :)
Johnnie Walker Blue Label Blended Whisky is the top of the Johnnie Walker line: Blue, Gold, Green, Black, and Red. At about $150 USD per bottle (duty free) this is an investment in some good whiskey and many wonder if it is worth that price for a blend. Many whiskey/whiskey consumers will dish out more for single malt, but why is this blended whiskey so popular and so expensive? In the end, I argue it is worth having around for special occasions
Generally whisk(e)y classifications are by region and have disctintive flavor profiles. Scotch whisky is one of them, and there are different flavor profiles according to the specific region of Scotland where it's produced. Others include Irish whiskey, American whiskey (may not be limited to bourbon and Tennessee whiskey), Canadian whiskey, and Asian whiskies (in particular to Taiwanese and Japanese whiskies).
Turn the bottle up side down the lid is a shot measurer so the whisky should flow

Essentially it's the level of quality (based on ingredients, amount of time aged, ABV, etc.). From bottom to top it goes: Red Label (~$17 for a 750ml bottle in my area) Black Label (~$25) Green Label (~40) Blue Label (I saw this on sale at my local liquor store for $125)
Johnnie Walker Blue Label is, like most Johnnie Walker whiskeys, a blended scotch bottled to the specifications of Scottish Law. The laws state that if an age is to be listed, it must be the age of the youngest scotch. For that reason, many blends leave off the age, as the inclusion of a very young scotch would make the age seem unimpressive (for instance, blending a 20 year old scotch with a 6 year old scotch would make the blend a "6 year old blend"). Johnnie Walker does not release aging for its Blue Label blend (it does for other labels), but it is oft reported that the blend contains some very old scotches, some aged 40 years to upwards of 60 years.
