JOHNNIE WALKER GOLD LABEL was blended to celebrate the first 100 years of JOHNNIE WALKER in 1920. A well-kept secret, it’s only been available outside the company since the 1990s. It has a distinctly smooth, sweet and luxurious character, with a stylish elegance and refined quality.
GOLD LABEL is crafted using whiskies such as CLYNELISH for a honeyed flavour and creamy texture yet still retaining the signature JOHNNIE WALKER smokiness.
With its rich gold colour and old-gold glints, it reveals a full, round, deep nose. There are notes of soft raisins and toffee, fresh malt and light cream – GOLD LABEL is as enticing as it is sensuous.
Its palate is rich and broad with full malt flavours and honeyed spices with almonds and marzipan, which leads to a distinctive creaminess.
CARDHU provides strong yet smooth malt and oak flavours. Extra-mature grain whiskies deliver some of the lingering sweetness, while CLYNELISH from the northern Highlands is responsible for the unusual aromatic creaminess. The finish is multi-dimensional and satisfyingly long.
