Blended Malt   Score: 83   ABV: 40%   Bottle: 10/10   Notes: 2009/2010 for Taiwan/GTME
Johnnie Walker Green Label 180 Cask
This is a pretty unknown Walker. It saw a very limited production. Information about the 180 Cask is sparse, but here’s what I’ve gathered so far. Like the regular Green Label, this is 15 year old blended malt. It was released twice; once in 2009 and once in 2010. It was made only for Taiwan and the GTME (Global Travel and Middle East). It’s a blend of 180 of the master blender’s finest casks. I imagine this will be quite a collector’s item, if it isn’t already. I like the standard Green, so let’s see if this fancy little rarity fares as well.

Nose: Big butterscotch, brine, minerals, citrus, honey, heather, apples, barley, nuts, pancakes. Very gentle nose, with a pleasant sweetness.

Palate: Light bodied, with a much bigger arrival than expected. Peat, fennel, burnt toast, butterscotch, sea air, honey, charcoal, earth, and seared nuts.

Finish: A short finish, but the whisky becomes thicker and more mouth coating towards the finish. Basically a continuation of the palate, Butterscotch, heather, peat, earth, melon, sultanas, minerals, nutmeg, paprika, fennel, and pancakes drizzled with honey.

Thoughts: I like this neat, as it’s even lighter and smoother than the regular 15. In terms of similarities to the standard Green, we still have the heather notes and a clear Talisker influence. As for the differences, this has a lower abv. Also, it’s gentler and sweeter, and has stronger butterscotch and fennel notes. But unfortunately it isn’t as bodied as the regular 15, and the finish is rather uneventful. Still, it’s very drinkable and more characterful than most Johnnie Walkers, but I can’t say it’s an especially interesting whisky. A solid, inoffensive blended malt. I much prefer the standard Green.

嗅覺:
* 味道不是很明顯,帶有甜甜的香氣.
*焦糖,鹽,柑橘,蜂蜜,蘇格蘭石楠花,蘋果,大麥,堅果,鬆餅.
味覺: 
*酒體輕盈,但是比我想像中的更為強烈.
*泥煤,茴香,烤過的土司,焦糖,海洋氣息,蜂蜜,木炭,土壤,烤過的堅果.
後味:
* 後味短,但是口感變的比較厚重.
*焦糖,蘇格蘭石楠花,泥煤,土壤,葡萄乾,礦物質,荳蔻,匈牙利辣椒粉,茴香,鬆餅,蜂蜜.

 評語:
*這是一罐很少見的 約翰走路,是在2009和2010很小量的在台灣和國際機場銷售而以.
他們表示這一罐是用180個最好的桶子釀的酒,是一款很好的純麥威士忌,

不過與一般的綠牌比起來,我還是較偏愛一般的綠牌,
因為一般的綠牌有著味道較強的酒體還有更多的角色,這一款是酒體偏輕也較甜,酒精濃度也相對的低.
我希望這一款可以有更多香味的角色,後味也可以精采一點.

不過我是很欣賞喜歡這罐的焦糖香和茴香的香氣,
這兩種香氣是在一般綠牌沒有出現的.是一罐味道算輕盈的酒,大部分的人都會喜歡,同時,
因為這支酒市面上較少,喝起來野蠻好玩的,如果你是約翰迷,那麼你應該也要來上一瓶做為收藏.
