Johnnie Walker Blue Label Zodiac Collection Year Of The Dog Blended Scotch Whisky
Loyalty is the Dog's great virtue, and the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year of the Dog is the bottle to buy for the friend who has stood by you for decades. It is a one litre zodiac edition decorated for the eleventh animal of the cycle, so there is plenty to share when the old crew gets together. The Dog is linked with honesty, fairness and a protective heart, and Dog years include 1958, 1970, 1982 and 1994. In the glass it is rich and fruity with a light touch: baked apple, sultana and vanilla, a hazelnut middle and a lingering finish with a wisp of smoke, all from Blue Label with no age statement. Order it for a best mate's milestone birthday, a groomsman thank you, a volunteer who never says no, or a nurse, firefighter or teacher retiring after a career spent looking after others. We pack it in a moulded insert, send it tracked to every state and territory, and an adult signs on arrival.

Johnnie Walker Year of the Dog Taste Notes Before You Buy
The Johnnie Walker Dog opens on baked apple and plump sultana, with vanilla pod and a little cinnamon behind. The palate is rich yet easygoing, with roasted hazelnut, toffee and a creamy malt texture. The finish is light and lingering, trailing a thin wisp of smoke. It is an approachable pour, so it suits friends who are not whisky experts.

The Loyal Friend Gift: Ordering the JW Blue Label Dog
People born under the Dog are said to be faithful, honest and protective, the ones who defend friends and never break a promise. That gives the JW Blue Label Dog an obvious role: a best man or bridesmaid thank you, a twentieth anniversary of a friendship, or a farewell gift for a carer.
Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year of the Dog, Rooster or Pig: Which Litre to Buy

Buy the Johnnie Walker Dog for a Night With Old Friends
The Johnnie Walker Dog is best poured neat for a small group of old friends, a measure each, with cold water on the side. Order a set of matching glasses so everyone gets the same pour, and on a warm evening on the deck a single large ice cube is perfectly acceptable.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year of the Dog FAQ
Is the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year of the Dog a litre bottle?
Yes. It holds one litre, more than the standard Blue Label bottle.
Is the Dog a good gift for someone born in 1982?
Yes. Anyone born after Lunar New Year 1982 is a Dog, and 1958, 1970 and 1994 birthdays qualify on the same basis; a very early birthday could make them a Rooster.
Should I buy the Dog or King George V for a best friend?
Buy the Dog if the zodiac link or the litre size matters. Buy King George V for a grander, richer blend regardless of birth year.
Can I send the Dog to a friend as a surprise?
Yes. Enter their address at checkout. An adult at that address will need to sign, and photo ID may be requested.
Is the heavier litre bottle safe in the post?
We pack it in a litre sized moulded insert and outer carton. Shipping is tracked and breakage is covered by our returns policy.
Is there a crypto discount on the Dog?
Yes. Paying with crypto lowers the checkout total.
