For the 2018 Year of the Dog edition, Taiwanese artist Page Tsou designed the bottle, which features lanterns, fireworks, dancing dragons, and four dogs significant in Asian culture. This blended Scotch whisky is offered in liter-sized bottles in select travel retail locations, priced at £175 (approximately $235).

Kaylie Eggleston 5.0

This is considerably different from the standard blue label. It's bottled at 46% ABV instead of the usual 40%. The palate is sweeter, possesses greater depth and flavor, and is just as smooth as the regular blue label. Compared to this Year of the Dog edition, the normal blue label seems 'watery'. I strongly recommend this whiskey; it's truly a distinctive and commendable dram, and the attractive artwork is an added bonus!
