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.
Lo Mejor de Johnnie Walker, lastima que ya esta descontinuado, Un Tesoro para quien tengas alguna botella celosamente guardada.
Best of the group. Gold label reserve is pretty good as well but cost much more. Was disappointed with the blue label and the platinum label. If I can't get green label I will stick with the red label which I find to be very interesting with a young spicy flavor and a hint of Peat and a great price. Do not care for the black label, some people may like the smoky flavor but I find it smoky to the point of almost charred. Johnny Walker, please please please bring back the green label for North America.
I'd have to say that this is the nicest whisky I've ever tasted. I refer to the newer release, not the one in the photo above. It has a smoky taste and a hazy appearance when water and ice are added. I've recently had JW Platinum, Double Black and Glenlivet 12 year old and I much prefer the Green Label over any of these. I've now cleaned out 3 bottle shops in my town and if you've half a mind you'll get down and pick up whatever you can in this limited release.
All i can say is WOW. tried a new version of this the re-release 2015 version. WOW WOW WOW! I just had a dram of glenlivet 18 before this, and I hate to admit it but i think the johnnie green is better in terms of flavour and delivery. Nose is quite full, lots of sweet cereal notes. Palate is nice and creamy, super smooth and then moves to a dry medium slighty smoky finish. I can say that the 2015 version is very sweet, like it is very sweet. It dosen't have much peat and smoke flavor, just a bit. It tastes like a really sweet speyside malt with lots of body and tad of smoke. If you're feeling for a sweet, full flavoured, rich dram this is for you. good stuff!
I feel that Johnnie walker green is one of the best whiskies ever produced it has a lovely smooth taste and a great rich aroma it is best served on its own for maximum flavour and worth every penny of the price.
