Scores:
After my initial score I add or subtract points relative on how I perceive value (based on what I paid for the bottle). A zero value means I think the price is justified.
0-69.5 - Don’t bother trying, life is too short for bad spirit.
70-79.5 - Worth trying, but you’re not missing out if you don’t.
80-84.5 - I recommend trying.
85-87.5 - Definitely try this!
88-92.5 - I recommend buying a bottle blind!
93-95.5 - Stuff you reserve for special pours!
96+ - The meaning of life.

RE: Blind tasting... Where I do agree that blind tasting is the best way to determine your favorite whisky, I believe I would be unable to achieve valid blind results on these particular Johnnie Walker expressions because of how familiar I am with each of them. In my preparation for this review (as in all of my reviews) I try the whisky multiple times over weeks/months while taking detailed notes on smell and taste. If I did this review blind I would (for the most part) be able to tell which whisky I was tasting when I was tasting it, and therefore the test would not be 100% blind/valid. In my opinion and experience blind tastings only are accurate when you have not tried the particular whisky(s) before or are less familiar with them (see my live shows or "What's the best Pappy?" review). A blind tasting will give you a one-time result on your current preference on that particular day. However, I believe trying a whisky multiple times, getting to know a whisky, eliminating variables that could effect your palate (food/drink) by tasting on different days is the best way to review a product. I have tried many whiskies and I always make unbiased honest conclusions when scoring. Cheers, Jeremy.

Well said brother. Many don’t understand that a blind tasting is just the direct reflection of what’s pleasing or not in that given moment. Having a bottle and doing several tasting gives us he opportunity to provided a much more well rounded and educated perspective on the liquid at hand.

I think the Black, Double Black, and Green are the best bang for your buck in the lineup. But I would rate the Double Black below the Black. The peat smoke in the Double Black tricks people into thinking it is a better whisky, but in reality the Black is so well rounded and balanced for what it is, plus an age statement goes a long way in terms of quality, especially in blended stuff.

Green label! Definitely. It's a blend of 15, 15 year old single malt quality scotches, 4 of them being popular and highly reviewed: Talisker, Caol Ila, Cragganmore, and Linkwood. The result when you blend high quality scotches is you get one hell of a good aged scotch blend. While there are a few more interesting scotches for a lil bit more price. Green label is still a solid 4/5 rating in my books. And reasonably priced.

I never really ‘got’ whisky, which is sacrilege as I’m Scottish, but when I tried the Johnnie blue I was converted. Absolutely love it, and opened a lot of doors into the whisky world for me. The most important thing is everyone’s tastes differ, find the whisky that works for you, drink it in a way that works for you, and just enjoy it. Unfortunately my favourite just so happens to be the most expensive in the JW range :-)

As someone who bought a mini pack of almost all of these except these for the first time,, I can say my favorite thus far was somewhere between the double black label and the gold reserve. I guess their particular tasting notes and aromas just matched well with my palate on that day better than the rest. Blue label was after those, but man, if only it were less expensive. Gold and black label were alright. I'd mark them down at the same rank as blue, but way less killer on my wallet. Red is... something I wouldn't mind mixing into stuff, but maybe not drinking straight.

Nice review. The whole lineup is fairly diverse. My two favs are green label (always in the cabinet) and the 18 year old for various occasions. I find those two to really be up there for blends, even beating out the blended single malts, like Balvenie doublewood and Macallan triple cask. Both of which I like very much. Throw in some Japanese whiskeys, and the competition gets stiff. Hibiki harmony is another good one, too.

I have been drinking Black for many many years and find it very satisfactory. I tried Double Black when it first came out and found it superior but not always available for sale. I agree fully about Blue that it is too smooth and not worth the money. Red is really not a good drink.

My favorite is the Green, I noticed they used Taliskers in the blend, but I buy the double black far more often just because of the price. The 18 year old is a close third mainly cuz I am cheap

Great job on this video! You really packed in an incredible amount of useful information for someone like me that has been hesitant to delve into the Johnnie Walker lineup. I absolutely love the Clynelish 14, so will be looking for the Green Label next time I purchase. May even try some of the others next time I am out to dinner thanks to your nosing and tasting notes. Cheers!

A totally agree with your Blue and Green notes. Blue has an odd mouth feel in that it is so satin. Blue finish vanishes, and I was as surprised as you seemed to be. Great review. My only comment is that Black has a strong tanned leather note that I think needs mentioning. Maybe it's just my tastebuds, though. Green is my fav, though I haven't tried DB, 18, or Gold. Time to head to lcbo for gold to add to my collection. I see that Diageo has started putting out Mortlach again and will have to comb through your reviews after finding your channel. Cheers!

I haven't tried any of the higher end offerings, but I think my favorite is double black. Once in Vienna I found a bottle of red for only 10 Euro. Naturally I snapped that up, even though it's pretty harsh, and having it went completely against the rules of my study abroad program.

I enjoy a whiskey occasionally and have only tried two of these whiskeys, the red and the black. I live in the UK and the red label costs around £12 per 70cl bottle from Asda which is Walmart in the USA. It's a good whiskey if you are using a mixer with it. I like the JW black neat, it costs a bit more and you notice the difference in quality. My favourite all round whiskey of choice is Famous Grouse. I may try some of these other JW whiskeys though in the future.

For me the best Johnnie Walker price-quality-ratio is the Blender's Batch Red Rye finish. Great stuff for 30 € and you probably get it much cheaper outside Finland. Otherwise I dont buy much Johnnie Walker-products because there are much better options for the same price.
