Johnnie Walker Green Label 15 Year Old

I've had smoother and better balanced. You are hit with oak quickly and you do get some caramel but the alcohol kicks in quick and leaves a bitter/too smokey taste.
Blend not for me.

Johnnie Walker Green label is very hard to find in my area of Canada.
It's often touted as the malt snob's preferred member of the JW range.

In the glass, you have a slightly lighter than average whisky, however it is still obvious that caramel colouring and chill filtering is used. The whisky is not as oily and does not have "legs in the glass"

On the nose you are greeted with Talisker's peat , followed up by citrus fruits, coffee, vanilla and unfortunately strong oak.

I was sentimental about this whisky so maybe I am judging this bottle purchased in 2022 a bit harshly.

Upon the first sip, you are greeted with very nice light peat, there is a sharp sweetness and a floral medicinal Islay body. Unfortunately there just seems to be a bit too much oak for something as mature as a 15-year-old vatted malt.

The finish is smooth much like its black and blue labelled brothers. This is a complex and layered whisky however I am missing the balance that a 15-year-old vatted malt should have.

I feel as if this whisky is now overrated. There just isn't enough going on to justify the price point but if you haven't experienced a single malt or any peated whiskies I would recommend this as a first step into the realm of whisky/ peated whiskies.

I would rate this whisky 75/100

I feel time will make this whisky more palatable but it definitely is worth a look if you haven't tried it.

I just wish the price point was closer to that of black label given the lack of maturity in the taste.

I have a bottle which was purchased in 2001 under the old labeling johnnie walker pure malt 15 extra special which makes it 36 years. Trouble is wife won't let me drink it.

Fantastic 15 year 43% blend !!!! With a day off at home, a dram to start a lazy Sunday. Always advisable to take the Monday off also.

JW Green Label...the best of an average range (Black, Double Black, Red, Gold, Blue) etc from JW Blenders.
Come on JW, wake up, give we customers (not Consumers) much better value and presentations please? You have been in the business long enough to recall that it is ordinary customers who have made your brand a success....NOT THE MARKETING & COMMERCIALLY DRIVEN BULL-SHITTERS that pervade and are rife in and amongstthe Scotch Whisky industry.
Positive, constructive criticism given when justified, such as this is, should be thought of as 'gold dust' for your future production & sales strategies.

Sending sincere best wishes to all at Johnny Walker.

I've tried all the single malts in this blend after trying my first JWG a few years ago. All are worthy of note and the Talisker is my firm favourite. For complexity and aftertaste the Talisker will always be my go to, but any relative who gifts me a bottle of JWG will definitely receive a superior gift in return. A bottle of Johnnie Green will last months on my shelf as I ration my drams to enjoy them to their fullest. Lesser drinks (and I count some single malts amongst that number) will not enjoy such a rarified shelf time.

Of the more expensive Johnny Walker whiskeys, this is the best for the price. A nice blend of single malts.

Doubtless a quality whisky, but little bit too strong on the peat and smoke for my taste. I shan’t knock it, but I prefer the milder Black label.
