Cellar/Tasting Notes
Few whiskies offer as indulgent an experience as Johnnie Walker Gold Label. Exceptionally smooth, creamy and delicate, Gold Label is the ultimate whiskey pleasure. A skillful fusion of rare aged whiskies inspired by the notes originally kept by Sir Alexander Walker, and crafted from only a small number of Scotland's most renowned distilleries each matured for a minimum of 18 years. The golden whiskey, a truly inspired blend that has at its heart the rare Clynelish malt, distilled from spring water which runs through veins of pure gold, to create a magical taste, rich soft and lingering. One sip reveals honey tones balanced with almonds and spices, leading to a distinctive creaminess and the most delightful smooth finish. The true hedonist enjoys it frozen in a frosted glass, since it reveals the best of its honeyed character as it warms in the mouth, and actually makes a perfect accompaniment to rich chocolate desserts! Wine Enthusiast (WE): 93 "This amber blend of 15 whiskies, each aged at least 18 years, yields a mellow, balanced mix of sweet caramel, raisin and smoky notes, all lingering and pleasing. Serve chilled, possibly as a dessert pairing." |
