For those of you who fancy the Johnnie Walker Green Label, better act fast and stock up on the last bottles remaining on shelves.
I called a few places, and I am told that the Green Label is a one time special shipment for 2015. No shipments are available for 2016 in sight.
The lower mainland are all out of stock, except for a location in Surrey that most likely got their 24 bottles from Langford, Victoria, where it doesn't sell very well.
Fun fact, since the Green Label is an excellent bang-for-the-buck whiskey, Johnnie Walker decided to discontinue the product. To my knowledge, you can now only find it still on shelves in the UK and Taiwan. In place of the Green Label, Johnnie Walker added the Gold Label Reserve, a product that is average at best with no age statement.
Lastly, for those of you who wonder about the brand and don't know much about it..
-Red Label- pretty good for shots and mixing with soda. Sprite works surprisingly well.
-Black Label- good sipping whiskey and relatively affordable. Peaty and very delicious
-Double Black- extra smokey and peaty, sweet finish. Don't let the bottle sit for too long after opening, oxidation makes this particular blend go bad real quick
-Gold Label Reserve- sweet, average whiskey. I would stick with JW.black
-Gold Label- 18 year age statement I believe, very very delicious
-Blue Label- famous for what it is. I wouldn't buy a bottle of it, just try it at a bar for kicks.
