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.

Really good blended scotch.
JW Green IS a blend, but it is a blend of single malts. It is what we old guys called a 'Vatted Malt', meaning a blend of single malts. Even J W Blue is a blend because, although there are more expensive and older single malts in the Blue, there is also single grain spirits. Not so for the J W Green. I love the J W Blue, but for the price of many so so single malts, the Green hits the sweet spot for value in my opinion.
salty finish
I have to say this is a good blend ... I don't like too much smoke but this just about gets it right. If I'm honest I prefer a few of the single malts around this price range but I enjoyed this and was in no way disappointed.
I've tried Red, Gold, Black, Double Black & Blue. I keep coming back to Green. The main reason is the blend is well balanced. Not too anything. Not too smokey, too earthy, too much bite, and not too smooth either. It's my "Baby Bear" of aged Scotch Whiskeys!
