Johnnie Walker Green Label 15 Year Old is the connoisseur’s blend—crafted entirely from single malts, each matured at least fifteen years across Scotland’s four corners. Lush, balanced and gently smoky, it captures forests, coasts and highland heather in one seamless dram. Presented in its iconic green livery, it’s a refined choice for milestones, corporate gifting and the well-curated home bar.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Fragrant woodland and orchard notes rise first—fresh-cut apple, pear and wild herbs over polished oak. The palate is silky yet structured, layering honeyed malt, toasted nuts and cedar with a thread of maritime smoke. Hints of cocoa, heather and citrus zest unfold as it warms, revealing depth without heaviness. A long, poised finish lingers with sweet malt, gentle peat and a final lift of spice.

Craftsmanship & Story
Green Label is a rare blended malt: no grain whisky—only carefully selected single malts aged at least 15 years. Johnnie Walker’s blending team composes a landscape of flavour—wood, fruit and smoke—then slow-marries the components to harmonise texture and aroma. The result is a whisky that balances character and approachability, true to the house style yet distinctly, verdantly its own.
Special Features
Aged-statement blended malt at 43% ABV for extra presence; a nuanced equilibrium of orchard fruit, cedar-laced oak and coastal peat; versatile neat or in refined long serves. The faceted green bottle and premium gift box elevate presentation. Built from mature malts for depth and clarity, it offers a generous, elegant profile that rewards both casual sipping and connoisseur contemplation.
