A rare blend of rich single malt whiskies from the four corners
of Scotland, Johnnie Walker Island Green provides drinkers
with a distinctive flavour experience allowing them to explore the
character of these celebrated malts in a signature Johnnie Walker
style. A duty free exclusive, Johnnie
Walker Island Green is available solely to travellers,
adding to its exclusiveness.
Aromas of wood smoke, pepper and spice mingle with layers of
orchard fruit, gentle vanilla and sandalwood while the taste
experience delivers all the character of a single malt but with
greater depth and complexity amplified by the unique Island
style.
Showcasing the same blended malt craftsmanship as the critically
acclaimed Johnnie Walker Green Label, the exclusive taste of
Johnnie Walker Island Green offers a
more intense expression with a greater influence of smoky maritime
malt whisky. This is balanced with robust fruity Highland
malts including Clynelish™, lighter Lowland malts represented by
Glenkinchie™ and the characteristically sweet and fragrant Speyside
style of Cardhu™.
Jim Beveridge, Johnnie Walker Master Blender, said: "As
whisky makers, we're passionate about flavour. We captured the
distinctive style of individual mature malts from the four main
whisky regions of Scotland,
ensuring Johnnie Walker Island Green
offers all the character of a single malt, but with a richer
flavour experience."
Doug Bagley, Managing Director of
Diageo Global Travel and Middle
East, said: "Johnnie Walker Island
Green is the perfect purchase for traditional Johnnie Walker
fans or those seeking to explore the world of Scotch malts.
"The blend was recently awarded a 'Master' at The Global Scotch
Whisky Masters 2016, the highest possible ranking available at this
international competition, proving just how special a whisky it is.
And, as an exclusive product to travellers which cannot
be purchased outside of duty free, this is truly a unique addition
to the Johnnie Walker range."
Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, global travellers can now
discover true island intensity through the taste of Johnnie Walker Island Green. Pick up a
bottle in selected airports now and in duty free stores worldwide
