Johnnie Walker Green Label, the blended 15 year old returns

I’m not gonna lie, I’m not even sure how to break the news of a return of green label when it’s been out for quite some time now. But I finally picked up a bottle and gave it a go. It’s really good for what it is, like the old Green Label, and still beats the other JW products for my taste. This would be a good Father’s Day gift for whisky drinkers who are more into known brands. It’s really got a satisfying mouthfeel and roundness to it. I think best neat with or without water. Could also be great mixed as it has some structure to it. In the US it’s about $75. Which I would prefer be about $10 less but I’m just happy to still have scotch whisky in the USA! IF we have a new trade deal with the UK, then the exports to the US should be better!!!! More scotch whisky please!

Yep, I drank it

Fathers Day Scotch Whisky

This is a public service announcement for Americans. Many will go out and buy dear old dad a bottle of whisky this weekend to thank him for the years of pain and suffering you have put him through. The only problem is you have no idea what to buy him. You think he likes Scotch whisky?

Ok. Now if you know the brand he likes just buy that. Don’t get all fancy or try to one up your brother and get him something terribly different. Now if you are taking a stab completely in the dark you had better choose wisely. First off, dad may be too kind to grimace at the bottle of J&B if he only drinks Famous Grouse. However, I’d recommend a crowd pleaser like The Macallan or Glenfiddich (the 12 years aged or no age statement is fine, in other words the cheapest).

Want to spend less? Grants or Ballantine’s could work. I honestly would drink them.

So if your Dad is a big scotch whisky drinker, and blogs about whisky, wink, wink, nudge, Nudge! You might want to go in on a bottle of Bruichladdich Octomore. Any of them!

This has been a Scotchlife PSA. You can go back to your regular programming.
