Johnnie Walker Blue Label is, like most Johnnie Walker whiskeys, a blended scotch bottled to the specifications of Scottish Law.

The laws state that if an age is to be listed, it must be the age of the youngest scotch. For that reason, many blends leave off the age, as the inclusion of a very young scotch would make the age seem unimpressive (for instance, blending a 20 year old scotch with a 6 year old scotch would make the blend a "6 year old blend").

Johnnie Walker does not release aging for its Blue Label blend (it does for other labels), but it is oft reported that the blend contains some very old scotches, some aged 40 years to upwards of 60 years.

There is no age defined for Blue Label. This might be because it is a blended variety and not a single malt.

It would appear that it would be greater than 25 years otherwise it would be in the same category as Gold Label (15 -> 18 years).

Because Blue Label Johnny Walker is a blend, Scottish law states that, when providing a number for how long the whisky has been aged (which is not necessarily required), it must use the age of the whisky that is the youngest in the blend. For example, if a Blended Scotch has whisky that has been aged for 4, 8, 10, 14, 16, 22 and 25 years blended together, the maker of said Blended Scotch must put something to the effect of "Aged 4 years," that is only if they want to put that. Like I said previously they do not have to by law. All that being said, rumor has it that Blue Label can usually have whisky in it that has been aged anywhere from 20-60 years. From what I know about the ageing of whisky 60 years seems a bit extreme but I guess only the people making it really know the answer to that question. I would be somewhere between 20 and 30 years given what I know about high end whisky. Also each bottle can be quite different as well from what I understand. One bottle's youngest whisky may be aged 15 years, whereas another blends youngest could be aged 25 years. Age of the blends does not necessarily equate to a "better" Scotch. It is the proper combination of blends that makes JW Blue what it is.

Two to three years, as long as you keep the lid tight and the bottle in a cool place. Drink it responsibly, with ice.

Where can I buy MacAndrews Scotch Ale?

If you find some, you'll have to tell me where. From my research, Caledonian retired it sometime around 2006. Samuel Smith Brewery picked it up after that and produced it for a couple of years under the name "MacAndrews Stock Ale" with the same label, it just read "Stock" instead of "Scotch". They also appear to have retired the ale a couple of years ago. I've yet to find a comparable Scotch Ale. If you find one that tastes anything like the ol' "Man's Best Friend", let me know.
