Johnnie Walker whisky, is the world's favourite whisky, it was first produced by John Walker in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire in 1820. The famous Striding Man which appears on every bottle was first portrayed in 1909 and has continued ever since. A rich blend using only malts, drawn from the four corners of Scotland. Green Label with its rich gold amber appearance, this medium-full malt summons up a multiplicity of complex natural aromas. It starts on the seashore and drifts inland over moist moss and through evergreen forest. Then come the exotic notes of orange peel, stewed peaches, cooked black fruits and sour cherry. Four signature malts provide the key taste influences for this 15-year-old whisky. Talisker introduces power and depth of character, CAOL ILA contributes mystery and intensity, and at its heart Cragganmore provides a sweet maltiness, while Linkwood adds a final touch of finesse.

Aroma: Earthy aromas of light garden fruits, married with florals.
Taste: Rich wood notes with Highlands oak and cedar.

Master of Malt - Monkey Shoulder Scotch is a superb blended malt whisky from William Grant, made with single malts from three famous Speyside distilleries. The result is a smooth, creamy, supple and very malty Scotch which works superbly well neat, over ice, or in whisky cocktails (where it really excels).

This heavily peated single malt Scotch whisky is jam packed with coastal air and bonfire ember notes with plenty of power behind it. Not for the faint of heart, this one.

Colour - Glows like a barley field of shimmering gold

Nose - Elegant and refined. Soft delicate honey notes are entwined with vanilla spice, creamy caramel and cinnamon. Then suddenly… the growl of bonfire smoke, sea spray, cardamom and tar rope hits you. The beast is awake!

Taste - You can feel its immense power as it pours onto your palate like a violent thunderstorm. You need to brace yourself. Its “natural strength” is untamed and ferocious. Yet, seconds later - this beastly peaty, fiery spirit is soon soothed by the warmth of your tongue. Almost immediately a calmness, a stillness pervades as seductive notes of moist banana cake, thick treacle, mocha with whispers of sweet pineapple , ginger and cumin finally come into play to give you an unforgettable aftertaste. Everyone has a little beast in them - this one more than most.
