Johnnie Walker Green Label is a unique 15-year-old blended malt Scotch whisky. Unlike standard Johnnie Walker blends that mix malt and grain whiskies, Green Label is crafted entirely from single malts sourced from across Scotland’s regions. It offers the complexity of a single malt with the balanced harmony of a blend. [1, 2]
