Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve Blended Scotch Whisky, 40% Vol., 1 L
The Celebration Blend
Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve is a Gold Medal award-winning blend created by Master Blender Jim Beveridge to celebrate nearly 200 years of the art of blending.
Jim wanted to craft a luxurious and perfectly-balanced blend that would vividly present all the bold flavours that Johnnie Walker is famous for. Our Master Blender explored his Reserves for casks matured to the point where their flavours are at their vibrant best. He chose world-renowned, award winning whiskies including:
- Rich and fruity Highland Malts, Clynelish & Blair Athol
- Classic Speyside Malts one of which is Cardhu
- Smoky Malt Whiskies from the Scottish islands
- Creamy Lowland Grain Whiskies including Cameronbridge
The perfect whisky for moments of celebration shared with friends and family
Tasting Notes and the Perfect Serve
Jim Beveridge blended Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve so that its flavours unfold in waves, with rich fruit and vanilla alongside spicy and sweet woody notes and a gentle smokiness. He has created a blend that’s ideal for classic Scotch based cocktails because each of its distinct flavours can be enhanced through a choice of mixers and ingredients – like its rich vanilla notes that work so well in a zesty Whisky Sour or bringing its sweet fruitiness to the fore in a tall glass with crushed ice and a slice of fresh orange.
Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve is best enjoyed in a tall glass with crushed ice and a slice of orange, or try it with apple juice and soda with an apple slice. It also works brilliantly as the foundation for a range of Scotch based cocktails like a whisky sour.
