| Johnnie Walker Green Label Pure Malt Scotch Whisky 15 year old
Scotland |
Product Notes:
The Johnnie Walker Green Label Scotch is a "Vatted Malt" Whisky. This means that it is a blend of single malts produced at different distilleries. In the case of Green label, these single malts are all aged a minimum of 15 years. Green label showcases nice flavors of fresh cut grass, wood smoke, pepper, vanilla, fruit, and sandalwood. This is a very fine Scotch for a fraction of the price of the famed Johnnie Walker Blue Label.

 About Estate:
John Walker was born in 1805, and opened his first business (a grocery store) at the age of 15. John Walker had been experimenting with tea blending, and began blending whiskies in the same way. His whiskies were soon on sale, and before long, started receiving critical acclaim. John Walker died in 1857, and passed the business along to his son Alexander. Alexander was responsible for aggressively promoting the brand. As the British Empire expanded, so too did Johnnie Walker. The business was passed on to Alexander's sons, and the brand became even more recognized around the world. Today, Johnnie Walker is the world's leading producer of Scotch Whisky.

About Varietal:
"Vatted Malt" refers to whisky that is blended from a number of different single malts from different distilleries. Unlike a blended whisky, vatted malts do not contain any grain whisky.
The term "vatting" is used to describe the blending process - and does not automatically equate to a vatted malt.
Vatted malts or pure malts are to be reclassified as Blended malts as part of a process to standardize Scotch whisky descriptors set out by The Scotch Whisky Association which represents the majority of Scotch whisky distillers in the Industry.
