Scotland
Johnnie Walker Green Label is a blended malt made entirely with single malts from the four corners of Scotland and aged for at least 15 years. It's one of the best bargains in Scotch whisky and a favourite among bartenders.
The nose is quite rich and full. There are notes of mochaccino and espresso coffee, wood smoke and a fireplace, as well as a touch of bitter chocolate and oak.
The palate has a medium-body with notes of crisp cereals, coffee beans and chocolate, a date note with a touch of walnut.
The finish is quite long and spicy with honeyed sweetness and oak.
Best whiskey for such price. IMO green is better than the overpriced and overrated blue. Not a big fan of JW in general but this one is different and really unique. Tasted it first time in 2013, got myself the new version now. I think it even got better. Amazing whiskey, recommended!
Solid dram for the price, doesn't touch most 15 year single malts but very enjoyable for the price and better than plenty 12 years in the same range, basically like a really smooth version of Talisker with a little extra
Brought a 1L back from Barcelona in the duty free for the same price as this 70cl bottle. Bought it primarily due to the Talisker and Caol Ila parts. I'd never really drank Cragganmore and certainly never had Linkwood (knowingly) before. I think I appreciate the Speysides more in this blend. The former two provide that peaty/oaky whallop that I'd expect, but the Speysides provide a more floral, sweeter note,. There is a definite chocolatey after taste, I couldn't really detect any walnut, but the coffee/espresso taste is quite prevalent. All in a super smooth blend and one I'd definitely look for again.
First tasted while I was in Delhi in the year 2000 and instantly liked it, and tried it again and again and derived pleasure of it. Pleasant surprise it's again here.
tried it again and again and it always delivers on flavour and experience, remarkably complex for its price.
