Johnnie Walker Gold Reserve isn't quite what the original Johnnie Walker Gold is, but let's find out if it changed for the better.

Have you ever tried the Jonnnie Walker Gold (18 year?) and been able to compare it to the new one? I'd like to hear what you thought.

Well, crap. I haven't had gold since it was the 18 year so I guess I need to get my hands on some of the modern gold to compare. I LOVED the gold.

I got a bottle of Gold about 10 years ago and I LOVED it. At that point I had tried all their flavours except for the swing, and next to Blue, it was my favorite. It was so smooth and mildly flavoursome. Its a shame that they have changed the taste because it was a good drop. If you get a chance, and you can find an old bottle, I would LOVE to see a review on it.... cheers.

I grabbed this sample pack the first time I saw it. I think these are great things that more distilleries should do to give consumers a chance to try multiple offerings without commiting to a full bottle of each or managing bar excuisions. I really didn't have much issue in getting to the goodness within each, though I was a little worried about breaking the tiny cork in the blue. This was actually my favoured of the set. I liked the more liveliness compared to the Blue, Platinum just hit a combination that turned me off, and I found it much more interesting than the Black. None were what I would consider "bad", though, and think it would be more according to personal preference. I have since tried Double Black (great) and look forward to trying Green some day. Thank you for your take on this.

If I had to choose one scotch to represent the scotch whiskey kingdom it would be Green Label. I was about to restock my cabinet and was tempted to try the Gold instead because it was only a few dollars difference. But after reading the profile my gut said no. Your review just affirmed that decision.

It's not composed of only 15 single malts as you say, because then it would have a "blended malt scotch whisky" designation. It has a hefty amount of grain whiskeys and that's why it's called "blended scotch whisky"

One quick question Which one do you recommend? 1. Jack Daniel's tennessee honey 2. Johnnie Walker Black Label 3. Johnnie Walker Gold Reserve 4. Chivas Regal 12 Blended 5. Jack Daniel's no7 My girlfriend will buy me 1 liter of whiskey. I have red label, and you know how bad it is. I want something nice and I have absolutely no idea what do drink. She will buy it from free shop, red label 1 liter was 15€ so please while you are selecting the one consider the price is not so high too (I'm student)

I very much enjoy your reviews. However I have to respectfully disagree. My wife and I really enjoy this whiskey and I think it is worth every penny. You are spot-on about the honey. This Scotch is extremely smooth and sweet with a whiff of smoke. This is by far our favorite Johnnie Walker. It beat out the gold 18 and the blue label. I have never tried the green so I cannot compare but as far as the other Whiskey's in the range goes this is our favorite.

The Whiskey Dic ... I was told the Gold label had a few launching where it was replaced and then re-added to the line up. Just like the Green Label. I think each time they were re-added, they were different than the previous release. I could be wrong but wanted to know which release/relaunch you were reviewing so I knew. Thanks much. Nice review as always.
