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.
At around $60 where I'm from, it's a bargain compared to the gold, and as far as I'm concerned it's every bit as good as the over-priced blue which runs around $185 in my area. As a matter of fact I believe I'll invest in a dozen bottles this week incase they decide to stop making it again.
Smooth, complex and mature and for this price you cant complain.
This is a great 15 YO whisky for the money. Based on reviews, I was expecting something a little bit unusual for JW, but not. If you like Blue Label and Platinum, you should like this Green as well. It has the same flavor profile, but more intense. You get the same kind of sweetness as the Blue Label, but then instead of the soft peat flavor, comes a pepperiness kick reminding you that there is no grain whisky and it's 43%. Great in my opinion. If you are a black label fan, you can't be sure about liking this. But if you, like me, only like the BL or Platinum, you will definitely like this Green. Especially useful to alternate between sherried single malts, depending on your mood.
loved this it's a notch up from the gold label but I still preferred black label overall , a sharper more traditional taste I enjoyed a bottle over a week ,the only way I think to get an overall impression of the taste
Is there a better whisky in the world for the price ?
