Johnnie Walker
Scotland
Blended
Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve is a multi-award-winning blend (lots of gold medals, appropriately) created by master blender Jim Beveridge to celebrate nearly 200 years of the art of blending. The Gold Label Reserve was relaunched in 2012 as a replacement for the popular Gold Label 18 and is made from whiskies across Speyside, Islay, the Highlands, and Lowlands.
It’s built around a core of single malt whisky from Clynelish, but also features spirit from the likes of Cardhu, Blair Athol, and grain whisky from Cameronbridge, all chosen for their sweet, honeyed qualities. It’s delicious neat but also mixes well, like in serves such as the bespoke Gold & Apple created especially for this blend (recipe below). Although we think for the best effect, you should drink it while singing Spandau Ballet’s classic ‘Gold’. That’s what we do.
Gold & Apple cocktail recipe
Prep time: Five minutes
Servings: Makes one serving
Ingredients:
40ml Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve
75ml apple juice
75ml soda water
An apple slice and/or a sprig of rosemary to garnish
Method:
Fill a Highball glass with ice then add 40ml Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve. Pour 75ml apple juice and then 75ml soda water on top, then garnish with an apple slice and/or a sprig of rosemary.
Honey and heather with thick caramel notes and a subtle nutmeg spice. Dried meadow flowers and a hint of fresh banana.
Smooth and succulent with a honeyed sweetness that's typical of Johnnie Walker. There's more to this though, the floral elements are quite prominent and there's a spiced sweet vanilla note too.
Long, sweet and toffee-like.
A typically easy drinking blend from Johnnie Walker, this will not disappoint fans of the style.

To all of these imbeciles saying "If you like this, you know nothing about whisky"... Taste is an INCREDIBLY subjective thing. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that it is somehow bad and none else is allowed to enjoy it. Your arrogance is amazing... Sure, I don't think this is the best whisky I've ever had (far from it) but that's because it simply isn't to my taste. It doesn't mean it's terrible and my old boss (the biggest whisky fiend I have ever met) loves this stuff. I challenge you to sip this alongside an ice cold Heineken in the sun and tell me it's not nice... It pairs incredibly well with certain lagers and that's not a bad thing at all. Not everyone wants to drink their whisky in an oak panelled speakeasy, boring everyone with their tales of when they visited this or that distillery. I don't really get a "honey" taste - it's more of a caramel/ginger taste for me but that's my point... Everyone is different. Thankfully.
bad
By far my favourite whisky in my collection, smooth, creamy with a honey like taste. I'll be interested to compare with the Platinum and Blue, but streets ahead of the Red and Black for the extra money.
just tried the Gold Reserve at the Airport Lounge - somehow disappointing Very smooth, Little complexity Would not Buy it
