For quite some time, the Johnny Walker Gold Label Reserve Blended Scotch Whisky was only available in the duty-free market. However, this exquisitely sweet Scotch has now been released widely, offering aficionados of Johnnie Walker a chance to sample the "elder sibling" in the portfolio. The brainchild of Alexander Walker in 1920, the production of Gold Label was delayed by 30 years due to a dearth of aged malts caused by World War I. This blend comprises premium single malt whiskies from renowned distilleries such as Clynelish and Cardhu, along with core grain whiskies from Cameron Bridge. Bottled at 40% ABV, the Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve is a swirling concoction of smoke, vanilla, and cream that intertwines with hints of sweet honey and spice. Its complex and collectible nature culminates in a gentle spiciness and a long, enduring note of traditional toffee candy.
