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.
The best blended I drank. Really smooth with a sweet entry taste. Comparable with those much expensive single malt versions. Wonderful stuff! Can't believed that it is a blended. The other really good stuff is Gold label from JW as well.
Magnificent drop, the Best of all Johnnies without any doubt. I was saving this bottle for Xmas and it is worth every minute waiting. Even when to get a bottle of this heavenly scotch is almost impossible now and quite expensive, go for it if you can. This drop has everything, spiciness, fruitiness, vanilla, peat... -you name it :-)) There is no grain taste like in other Walkers (Vatted mix) so you can really enjoy the full malty flavor.
and I grab bottles whenever available. Wish it would come back into North America distribution.
I don't like blended whiskeys, I prefer old single malts or bourbon firewaters. But this is something else. So smooth and subtle it works as a sipper or a whackback. If you like a potent peaty or smokey whisky you might find this a disappointing drink and you could feel cheated at nearly ninety quid for a bottle. But if you want to drink the most skilfully blended silky smooth whisky ever made, treat yourself to this.
This is the best malt blend I ever tasted. Period.
