Johnnie Walker Gift Sets

Johnnie Walker is the most recognisable name in Scotch, which is exactly what makes it a safe gift: the person opening it knows what it is before they read the label. This collection gathers the range's gift-ready bottles — tasting sets, limited-edition Blue Label packaging and the house's top blend — from $89.99 to $454.99.

If you do not know which label they drink: a tasting set

The Johnnie Walker Collection Gift Set ($89.99) puts four labels in one box — Black, Gold Label Reserve, 18 Year Old and Blue — which turns a gift into a tasting flight that climbs the whole range. For a bigger occasion, Johnnie Walker Gift Set: The Exclusive Scotch Sampler ($199.99) pairs the same four labels in 200ml bottles with a crystal tumbler and accessories. Both solve the hardest problem in whisky gifting: not knowing what the recipient already likes.

If they already drink Blue Label: the limited editions

Blue Label is the house's flagship blend, and the special editions put the same whisky in collectable packaging. Johnnie Walker Blue Label Diwali Edition Festive Blend ($199.99) is the festive-season edition, timed for Diwali in early November. The Lunar New Year editions — Year of the Snake and Year of the Horse — are the collectors' bottles. If the packaging is not the point, the standard Johnnie Walker Blue Label Scotch ($189.99) costs less.

If the gift has to be the best bottle in the room

Johnnie Walker Scotch King George V ($454.99) is the one to know. It was created to mark the Royal Warrant granted to the Walker family in 1934, and is blended from whiskies made at distilleries that operated during George V's reign, including malt from the closed Port Ellen distillery on Islay. It is quieter and smokier than Blue Label and made for someone who already knows Scotch.

Buying well

Gift sets and limited editions sell through fastest in November and December, and the limited editions are not restocked once they are gone. Our guide to buying December bottles in September explains why. Buying for a team or clients? Our corporate spirits gifting guide covers budget tiers and delivery rules. For a smaller token, the Blue Label 6 x 50ml pack ($118.99) gives six separate gifts.
