Johnnie Walker Green Label (15 yo) [REVIEW]


Johnnie Walker Green Label (ABV: 43%)


  • Nose [21/25] : The nose here is quite good, with nothing really standing out overtop of anything else.  Malt, Smoke, maybe peat way back there, brine, oak, vanilla and hints of sweet toffee.
  • Taste [23/25] : Delicious malty flavours, smoke (similar to the Talisker 10), light salt, and those toffifee things.
  • Finish [24/25] : More wondrous malt, spice - like anise or liquorice. The finish reminds me of the Bruichladdich Laddie Classic_01.
  • Balance  [23/25] : A "pure malt" blend should be balanced, and this one is.  It is great tasting and fun to drink.
  • Summary : I think what I have come to love about this is how it reminds me of other favourites   When I first tried it, I had no experience to draw on and I think it's subtle complexity was lost on me.  But now it is like catching up with old friends.  Which only adds to the soul crushing depression I feel when I realize that it is gone. *sigh*
  • Score : [91 / 100]
