Johnnie Walker Blue Label Zodiac Collection Year Of The Goat Blended Scotch Whisky

Buy the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year of the Goat as a tribute to the creative, gentle people in your life. The Goat is the artist of the zodiac, and because one Chinese word covers goat, sheep and ram, shoppers also search for it as the Johnnie Walker Year of the Sheep. This one litre edition is decorated for the eighth animal of the cycle. Goat born people, including those born in 1955, 1967, 1979 and 1991, are said to be calm, kind, imaginative and happiest surrounded by beautiful things. The whisky is Blue Label with no age statement: light and gentle on the nose with honey and rose petal, rich and sweet across the palate with vanilla and hazelnut, and a mellow finish with soft smoke. Order it for a painter, musician, designer or gardener, or a Goat marking a big birthday. It ships tracked to every state and territory in a moulded insert, with an adult signature required.

Why the JW Blue Label Goat Makes a Gift for Creative People

Goats are imaginative, sensitive and generous, and they tend to thrive in art, music and design. The JW Blue Label Goat suits a painter with a first exhibition, a musician after a big performance, an interior designer finishing a project, or a gardener whose roses are the envy of the street. It also makes a kind thank you for a carer or a quiet volunteer.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year of the Goat, Horse or Monkey: Which Litre to Order

The Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year of the Horse 1 litre suits a traveller, and the Year of the Monkey suits a joker or inventor. The Johnnie Walker Year of the Sheep, as some call it, is the most floral of the three and the one to buy for an artistic recipient.

Order Honey and Goat's Cheese With the Johnnie Walker Year of the Goat

A soft goat's cheese drizzled with honey is a playful pairing to buy with the JW Blue Label Goat, echoing both the name and the palate. Serve it neat in a small tulip glass after a sip of cool water. Leave ice and mixers for another bottle.

Who Should Buy the Johnnie Walker Year of the Goat

It is the one for a Goat born friend, a creative spirit, or a collector placing the eighth animal in a zodiac set. If the recipient loves big, bold flavours and plenty of smoke, the Johnnie Walker Double Black suits them better.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year of the Goat FAQ

Is the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Year of the Goat the same bottle as the Year of the Sheep?

Yes. The Chinese word yang covers goat, sheep and ram, so both names point to this same eighth sign edition.

Is the Goat a good gift for someone born in 1979?

Yes, 1979 is a Goat year and so are 1955, 1967 and 1991. Early year births may still belong to the Horse.

What size is the Goat bottle?

A full litre, so it pours more glasses than the regular Blue Label bottle.

Should I buy the Goat or the Monkey?

Pick the Goat for an artist or a gentle soul and the Monkey for a quick witted friend; the bottles match in size.

Does the Goat bottle contain its own recipe?

No. Only the eighth sign artwork sets it apart; the whisky is the usual Blue Label, which does not state an age.

Who needs to be home for the Goat delivery?

An adult aged 18 or over, who signs for the parcel and may be asked for photo ID.
