Fabulous whisky and an excellent example of a vatted malt (SWS please note) where the sum is greater than the parts. All of the component malts are worthy of your attention, but the blenders at JW have really created something special here. No wonder they brought it back. The expert notes are spot on. Complex to a T. Every time I find something new. And at around $40 here in Japan, outstanding value for money.

About this bottle
This original blended malt bottling from Johnnie Walker, the Pure Malt 15 Year, was introduced in 1997 and renamed Green Label in 2004. This whisky is a blend of malts from Cragganmore, Linkwood, Talisker, and Caol Ila. Bottles with this original label are somewhat rare, and usually confused with the more common Green Label --which was discontinued in 2012, but reintroduced in 2016. Bottled at 43% ABV.
