    that award is a joke

    still a good drop, though not as good as how green used to be

      I tasted them both at the same time and it seemed exactly the same.

      Still haven't had the nerve to open my 180 cask for a taste though

    • I agree. The original was…..hmmmm fuller I found. Richer taste.

        Would you be able to tell the difference in a blind test, or was it the placebo effect?

        • +1

          Ohhhh good point. Might havta try it out one time. I've still got a few of the original bottles.

      Like most wine/beer/hotel/travel destination awards.

      • +2

        Are restaurant awards any different though?

          Add them to the list.

  • The 1-litre Island Green sold only through airports' duty-free is pretty good too and better value at around the same price from time to time.

    • Got a couple of them, I prefer the regular green but it's still pretty nice!

      • Agree. I like to keep a couple of cheaper Scotch for evenings when I feel like the expensive aged single malts will be wasted.

        • +1

          I usually have a bottle of Monkey Shoulder or Blairmhor hanging around too, decent for cheap stuff.

      • Yes, they have an offer a couple of months back. I think it was 15% off 2 mixed bottles. Good value for a full litre.

  • I agree, old Johnnie Green is identical to the new stuff. Only diff was the bottle size, old one used to be 750ml compared to the newer one being 700ml. I was silly enough to dispose of the empty 750ml around the time ppl were willing to pay 150-200 for the empty bottle. Crazy!!

      Are they still worth anything? I have a carton still unopened

  • Green is good!

    • Nah… overvalued and overpriced.

      I like Double-Black, the extra smokey flavour is nice.
      And of course, Blue… but haven't been able to see that at <$150… its an expensive commodity.

      • +3

        Blue is the overhyped and overvalued one.

        • I like Blue and Green, not Double Black; so there you go!

        • +1

          @LoopyLou:
          Sounds like you don't like peat. That's fine. The only problem with blue is the price. Good whisky but not $170 good.

        • @YOTR:
          Agree.
          I'd like a(nother) bottle of Blue, but only if its $140 or less.
          That's the limit where my wallet and liver begin arguing.

    They are the same. I bought the old one that says 15 year fruition overseas and it tastes the same as the non-vintage stuff bought locally

  • How is this compared to the island green?

  • Johnnie Walker entry point for drinkable without coke/dry

    • In how it's marketed - perhaps. However, I would pick the Green over the Blue any day, regardless of the price.

      • +1

        I just wouldn't buy Johnnie Walker. :)

        • How about not buying any blended whisky by Diageo?

        • I'm definitely more of an Islay single malt man myself, but the JW Green label is actually my favourite blend. While I wouldn't pay the full retail for it, I might grab a bottle at this price.

        • @motor89: Sure, we all have different tastes, but a neg, really?

  • Also the same price at BWS with the bonus of earning woolies rewards (not that it's worth much).

    • +1

      And better cashback at CR.

  • +1

    Have you tried Johnnie Walker Purple? Mix JW red and blue together.

    • I think you might have confused JW with SJW.

  • Will supplies dry up like last time?

    possibly will now that it's $54.95 via eBay :)
