Pour yourself a glass of Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve and you’ll enjoy a smooth blended whisky that marries the signature styles of lighter Speyside malts, for sweetness and spice, with the fruity characteristics of Highland malts. On the nose, enticing aromas of honeyed oats and toffee popcorn balanced by woody notes beckons. Take a sip and let the whisky convey its flavours of caramel mixed with creamy vanilla, while layers of tropical fruit keeps the palate on its toes. The Gold Label Reserve further distinguishes itself by its long and lingering finish.
