Wine Enthusiast 93 points - This amber blend of 15 whiskies, each aged at least 18 years, yields a mellow, balanced mix of sweet caramel, raisin and smoky notes, all lingering and pleasing. Serve chilled, possibly as a dessert pairing. - K.N..September/2011Ultimate Beverage Challenge 94 points - Stunningly golden in the glass, with aromas of dried apricot, nectarine, elderflower, and heather honey. The palate strikes a perfect balance between luscious stone fruit, sweet honey, and airy smokiness that adds depth and finesse. An everlasting finish ensues. -2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Excellent, Highly Recommended).April/2019Whisky Advocate 91 points - Complex, elegant textures from the get-go; woodsmoke from a bonfire of green twigs, ashy peat embers, grain stores, vanilla cream, and honey drizzled over baked apples. Golden syrup flapjacks, vanilla fudge, candied apricot, orange peel, Quaker oats, gingerbread, pepper, and a catch of smoke that bridges into the finish, where hints of citrus and golden honeyed grains are found. Classical allure, but eminently accessible. Reviewed by: Jonny McCormick (Winter 2018).January/2019Few whiskies offer as indulgent an experience as Johnnie Walker® Gold Label.
