Johnnie Walker Black Label 100
We’ve got an affinity for Johnnie Walker Black Label. As proof (no pun intended), it was the only liquor that we managed to have 2 bottles of in our bar, save for some Cuervo. It just so happens that Johnnie Walker Black Label is turning 100 this year, and we find this a cause for celebration.
Since its launch in 1909, the Black Label has become a name synonymous with quality and refinement; it’s an iconic brand, to say the least. To commemorate the centennial, Johnnie Walker is breaking out his pimp stick and taking his game to a whole new level. At present, the brand is offering an opulent all black, limited-edition, gold-embossed, 100th anniversary square bottle just for the occasion. You can get one too for a very reasonable $50. Check with your local purveyor of finer spirits for availability.
Editor’s Tip: If you’re celebrating and raising your drink for a toast, why not raise a free Johnnie Walker limited-edition rocks glass (+$2.50 S&H)? Unless you got a set of these, it’s better than your coffee mug.
Cost: $50

aaron Oct 05 - 5:07 pmJohnnie Walker Black is quality scotch, but as far as I can see it's the same stuff in a fancier bottle. $50 is a fair price, but for my money I'd rather jump into the 55-70 dollar range and go Dalwhinnie, Glenmorangie, etc. Scotch can get very pricey, but there is a surprising range of single malts that can be had for $70 dollars or less. The collector bottle is slick though, and if you are a big time Johhnie Walker buff its probably a must have.
