<p>A rectangular bottle in the manner of the nineteenth century in a silk-lined box, with a certificate of authenticity and a serial number. They are crafted as a tribute to the Old Highland Whisky produced in 1867 by John Walker's son, Alexander, and are matured longer than typical. The presence of Blue Label, as well as the premium tag, made an impression. The name quickly became associated with achievement, class, and riches. Uncomplicated, subtle, premium ingredients in just the perfect proportions for a luxury, laid-back vibe. When you serve this exquisite drink the next time you celebrate, you will undoubtedly taste success on your lips.</p>


The Gentleman's wager, a delightfully light and aromatic summer drink made to commemorate the debut of its namesake film, exemplifies all it set out to do. Classy and respectable, but light enough to enjoy over a good laugh. A little history is required to really appreciate this cocktail and its attraction. After the vodka and peach schnapps-loving 60s and 80s, the 90s abruptly transformed the concept of a cocktail. As a sign of prosperity, the Wall Street and Madison Avenue crowd required a more sophisticated and luxurious name tag on their drinks. Whiskey is experiencing a rebirth. This is when the Johnnie Walker Blue Label was introduced.
