Transferred from Barreled App: Here's to the final Johnnie Walker core range, blended whisky that I need to try to complete the catalog. The Green Label is a blend of 15 year old malts and comes in at 86 proof. Thanks again to Paul for this generous sample (I've sworn off of JW blends at this point as I think they are almost all subpar and too similar to warrant chasing them all). The nose here is heavily chocolate influenced with a bit of peppery oak cask. There's some faint smoke to help round things out, as well. The palate is thin and after an initial mocha creaminess is overpowered with oak spice. Too much spice. It sort of wrecks the finish by carrying over into it, while washing away pretty quickly. I guess that should be considered a good thing, but for some reason it isn't. I hate sounding like I'm flip-flopping with my expectations but this feels like what's happening. It doesn't seem like a typical JW, and that is a small plus to me. While I don't think I'd want an entire bottle of this, it is better than most other JW blends I've had. If I had to rank my top 3 it would be: JW Double Black, Rye Cask Select, and this Green Label. There, I'm done with you Johnnie. Moving on.... PS- A big thanks to @Generously_Paul for the ability to review and add this to my whisky total. Cheers.
