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.

It's funny, most really like it and some don't think it's worth it . It's a nice scotch to drink while watching a game. I can think of many better scotches to serve friends. You can't take money with you. Buy the best you can and what you like. You deserve it! I recommend 21 yr old Littlemill if you can get it. Or a cheap bottle of a blend is okay too.
To echo the last reviewer, I will not be purchasing any more of Green Label. I've had at least 3 bottles within the last 2-3 years. My bottle of a recent batch with the new label is significantly poorer and harsher than previous bottles. Far less on the nose and palate, a real shame.
The box and the labels on the bottle are different, and I'll almost swear the quality of this JW Green has dropped! For me, the latest batch is less peated and sweeter than the previous batch. IMO It's got a lot less Talisker in it and probably less Caol Ila, it leaves a bitter aftertaste on the roof of my mouth and back of my throat that I do not like at all! I will not buy any more of this latest batch and search out any older stock! It simply is not worth it now!
The best whisky I've ever drank. It's about 36 euros and something in the supermarket, but better than any whisky under 50 euros, like Balvenie 12yo. You don't buy a 15yo pure malt elsewhere. It uses 4 single malts, and drinking it is like listening to Beethoven's string quartet.
First of all, be aware that I am not a blend drinker and I have usually about 30 to 40 single Malt in my collection. Mostly peated islay whisky, my favorites are laphroaig and Lagavulin. I like to try new stuff and I heard so many positive reviews on this Green Label... Well, I had to buy a bottle ! Men... This is really good. I mean, considering the price, it is almost perfect ! Very well balance, with a big and fresh honney taste, spicy on the aftertaste and so easy. Me and my mates will have our yearly "whisky night" at Xmas holiday and I will provide this one for the blind test... I am quiet sure they will very, very surprised ! JW knows is job, that's for sure.
