Johnnie Walker Gold Label price is about $85 for a 750ml bottle, on average. This whiskey is a pearl in the Johnnie Walker family, created by blender Jim Beveridge, who personally selected the 18-year-old rare malt and grain spirits.
Originally this blend was marked as being 18 years old. But off late, Diageo has not been marking the gold label bottles as such, indicating that the blend now includes lesser aged malt spirits in it.
The name of the blend was not accidental. The single-malt Clynelish included in its composition is produced with water from a source in which prospectors washed gold 200 years ago. Traces of the precious metal are still found in this water today.
Gold Label is creamy smooth. It opens with the aroma of sweet nectar and almonds, then turns into fresh fruits and velvety honey tones before yielding notes of smoke and tannins. It was awarded four prestigious Le Monde Selection Grand Golds awards and the same number of double gold medals at the San Francisco competition.
