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'm giving this a rating of 10 stars as there is no 9.5 rating and it really does deserve it. This edition is just terrific, I picked up a bottle and drank from it two nights in a row... went back to get more and they had sold out on the day I bought it apparently. Now where do I get more? It's really great on the nose, the flavor develops with just wonderful balance and everything you could expect from a whisky. And it is so much cheaper than what I normally drink. When I pick it up I thought what's the harm it's only a bottle of Johnnie Walker, but it's so much more, how is something like this in a Johnnie Walker line up? As to the guy that prefers black label, which is just average, staggers me. This is no ordinary whisky and I love tasting whisky.
I try but the Black Label taste better than the Green Label
I live in Florida and never tried the original Green label I got into drinking scotch after got discontinued. I was happy to see it coming back into U.S market this year in 2015. It's readily available in many places for around $60 but it's the new version and I'm enjoying it very much also stock piling for future you never know. Well back to my main point after almost giving up on finding the original pre 2011 version even searching internet and international pages, to my surprise there was one bottle left in a back storage overlooked in my local liquor store. I was so excited I bought it right away:) for a normal price. crappy thing is now I have to wait for a special occasion to taste it:)cheers
Many years ago found the Green- superb- sad at its ending- FOUND it again- just sampled the new release- back came all of the great feelings of sipping a wonderful single blended malt!! I hope it continues.
according to official JW facebook page they are going to re release the green label throughout Australian selected retail shops in the next 2-3 coming weeks
