Island Green is a travel retail exclusive (mainly found in airports and duty-free shops), and it's a variation of the Johnnie Walker Green Label — but focused more on the maritime and peaty characteristics of the Scottish islands, especially Islay.
It’s a blended malt, meaning it's made only from single malt whiskies (no grain whisky), combining malts from:
-
Caol Ila (Islay) – delivers peat smoke and coastal saltiness
-
Clynelish (Highlands) – waxy, slightly fruity
-
Glenkinchie (Lowlands) – light, floral notes
-
Cardhu (Speyside) – smooth, sweet backbone
-
ABV: 43% (a bit stronger than most JW blends)
-
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Soft peat smoke, sea salt, green apple, and subtle vanilla
-
Palate: Smoky and rich, with dried fruit, citrus, and a malty sweetness
-
Finish: Medium to long, gently smoky with a lingering briny kick
