Product details
With the Island Green edition, Johnnie Walker has created a rare combination. This is a creation to showcase the Island malts more, in particular Caol Ila. The flavor profile within this blend balances their four signature styles of malt whisky using only Single Malt Whiskies which are represented by Caol Ila, Clynelish, Glenkinchie and Cardhu. However, it is Caol Ila (a maritime malt whisky) which provides the greatest influence.
Tasting notes
On the palate there is an intense depth of flavour, full-bodied and has warming spice to it. There is a perfect balance between the fruity sweetness and the robust presence of smoke. The finish is complex, and it lingers on the taste buds. It combines gentle peat smoke, with the sweet orchard fruits.
STORY OF JOHNNIE WALKER
The story of Johnnie Walker begins, naturally enough, with the man who gave the whisky his name. In 1820, the young farmer’s son started his own grocer’s shop in the thriving town of Kilmarnock. His father had died the year before and the farm sold. It was a tough start in life, but there was always something special about John. A glint in his eye. A fire in his belly. Within the year, the family farm had been sold and the money used to set him up with his own grocer’s shop in the thriving local town of Kilmarnock. In those days, most grocers stocked a line of single malts, but they were never consistent. This wasn’t good enough for John. So he started blending them together to create a whisky that tasted just as good every time. When John passed away after a full and prosperous life in 1857, he left his son, Alexander, with a very healthy business.
