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.
I got 4 bottle on March 4th, 2014 when heard that it was discontinued. This is by far the best JW label.
It is a true shame this bottle is going away. I wish I had discovered it long ago. As it were, nobody ever carried the Green label let alone even knew about it. Yet when I finally ordered a bottle through my local store, I found a bottle I could enjoy regularly. Unfortunately that first bottle was all I got before finding out it was discontinued. Luckily I found a case and snatched it up recently. Still, I believe Green would have done so much better if it were given as much press as the others (especially Gold). The best in my opinion.
Was able to find a couple bottles here in the Philippines. Being a remote country, not many people know about Green Label, and store owners don't realize it's discontinued. They also don't price it as high as those who know that it's no longer produced so I grabbed the opportunity. Must say, as a newbie to scotch whisky, I see patterns about a whisky with a lot of hype that always gets shot down by critics; not here, all the reviews I see are positive, meaning it must be that good. I don't know if it's just the power of suggestion, but i tried it (with my limited palate) and I loved it. Will be stocking up on this.
Haven't tried this for a long time but worth every penny. I usually stick to a variety of Malts especially Islay but stray to a quality blend occasionally This qualifies as quality
I was on a business trip to Taiwan and saw the Green Label commonly available in convenient stores and groceries like Carrefour, bought a small sample bottle of 200ml to try out. Being a single malt lover (and over on the peaty side) I was surprised by it's aroma and richness, especially long aftertaste. I almost couldn't believe it's a Johnny Walker (no offence by the way) But the best part about this Scotch is its price, one of the best value out there!
