Sure I got it because of its 'prestiege' and popularity and my dad sure loved it...
But what makes it so special? It better be aged for like 30 years or so.

I love scotch.Johnnie Walker Blue Label ? Johnnie Walker's ultimate blend. Every bottle is serial numbered and sold in a silk-lined box, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Although no age is declared, it is believed many of the whiskies blended are aged for 50 to 60 years. The booklet that comes with each bottle states the following:
"Johnnie Walker Blue Label is blended to recreate the authentic taste and character of some of the earliest whisky blends created in the 19th century, giving it a rich, peaty taste combined with a smooth, distinctly malty flavour that will appeal to the most expert palate.
The Blue Label blend echoes those early pioneering days, when Johnnie Walker would select a small number of whiskies in his own local shop, in order to create an outstanding blend for the specific taste of a highly valued customer. Specially selected from the finest and rarest of the Walker Reserves?
John Walker began selling whiskies in his Kilmarnock grocer's shop in 1820 and quickly established a reputation for excellence. Since then, the Johnnie Walker family of unique whiskies have become best sellers throughout the world, with an unsurpassed reputation for quality. Only the highest quality ingredients ? pure Scottish spring water ? so essential to the flavour, and the best malted barley, are used in the creation of the Blue Label blend. The addition of the full bodied robust whiskies of the Highlands contribute to the distinctive flavour?
To celebrate its origins, Blue Label is packaged in the traditional blue-green Walker bottle ? a recast of the original ? and with the now famous slanting label. In addition, the original design of the cork stopper with seal has been used for this distinctive whisky which echoes the distinguished heritage of Johnnie Walker. Supplies are strictly limited and so each bottle is individually numbered."
