I just picked up a bottle of Green Label, and had my first taste last night. I'm terribly impressed with this particular blend (though it is 100% malt, which surely helps)! It is extremely well-rounded, develops nicely, but is still quite distinctive. Fantastic flavors of bananas and pears, yielding to stronger walnut and vanilla as it rested, with just the right amount of smoke. Highly recommended!
Anyone else have experience with this?
The Johnny Walker?I've never tasted the Green Label but I must admit I've always considered Johnny Walker as subpar for its price, the one's I've tasted are
- Red Label, pretty much crap
- Black Label, a very basic whisky, not horrible but the only good thing about it is that it fills a price point where single malts don't usually exist.
- Blue Label, actually very good, but should be price between 2/3 and 1/3 of its selling price.
So you're saying the green is good? I'll have to taste it then. Meanwhile, go buy a Highland Park, the standard 12 yo is very good.
