I received this bottle as a gift but I've never tried scotch before. Any pointers? Is this good scotch? It's in a beautiful box!
Thanks for your help

First off, be thankful. That is a very nice bottle of scotch! It retails for about $200.
I would recommend drinking it neat (at room temperature with no ice). Add a very small splash of water to bring out the full flavor of the scotch. It makes a nice after dinner drink, or any time you just want to relax and enjoy a taste of something luxurious.
Johnnie Walker scotches are blended scotches. That means that they take different single malt scotches and blend them together to create the particular balance of flavors that they want. The Blue Label is a blend of 60-year-old single malts. That means the whisky was aged in a cask for 60 years before being blended and bottled. Generally, the older a scotch is, the better it is. Certainly, it gets more expensive as it ages, since a great deal of the whisky evaporates during ageing.
So what you have is a very expensive, expertly blended scotch. Drink slowly and savor it.
EDIT: Since you're not an experienced scotch drinker, I would recommend buying a bottle of Johnnie Walker Red or Black Label and drink a little of that first. By comparison, the Blue Label will seem like heaven!

It's a very high-quality scotch, never had it myself (£150/$290 a bottle, you'd expect it to be good). Apparently it's best enjoyed slowly, and straight, as not to dilute the taste. If you're not a scotch drinker you'll likely not notice the difference between that and a standard scotch though.

It is a good Scotch, I cannot stand Scotch but it is somewhat tolerable if you have it with soda.
