That's a great article. One of the things I always appreciated about the Green was that it was a vatted malt. Not a lot of these out there. I saw it for $49 in Bristol yesterday and was tempted.You nailed it. Blue is boring as hell. This may help for anyone who wants to understand the differences in JW. Why Johnnie Walker Scotch Whisky Doesn’t Deserve Its Bad Rap - Eater Green is really the only one I'd consider buying, and then only on sale.
Compass Box Great King Street -Artists blend is another good cheap blend like Monkey Shoulder, and the "Marrying Casks" if you find one, are quite solid. Unpeated Compass Box is almost always going to be Clynelish heavy, so if you like those, Clynelish 14 might be worth trying. I love that CB tells you exactly what is in everything.
I couldn't believe that I saw an ad where JW advocated putting the Gold in the freezer. If you pay $60+ for a Scotch why would you deaden the flavor by freezing it? If you pay $60+ for a Scotch you shouldn't need to deaden the flavor! A local packie has White Walker for $15.99 a bottle so I scooped up a couple. Now THAT, I throw in the freezer!
