I'm at the Frankfurt airport en route to Dubai for business, and I just bought a sample of this. If you like JW Green, you'll love JW Island Green. Apparently from what the sales guy here tells me, it's got much more Caol Ila than Green. Apparently the Green had 2 speysiders, Talisker and Caol Ila. This has replaced a Speysider with a Lowlander and a Island with a Highlander. ( why call it Island then? There's no Islanders here?). Really well made, and I'll surely be picking up a bottle on the way back. ( apparently only sold in Europe and travel retails).

LadyBird----it's interesting. I still prefer the Green over the Island Green. But, if you like your malts less smoky and more balanced, then you might like Island Green better. It substituted the Talisker for a Lowlander, and increased the Caol Ila percentage.
Wow, I've not seen this one yet! Intriguing ! I love the reg green.
I've bought on Miami, haven't try yet
