Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve
The festive Johnnie Walker: smooth, honey-sweet and full of fruit, with just a hint of smoke. And the only one in the range that the brand also recommends serving straight from the freezer.
Made for festive occasions
Gold Label Reserve is a personal creation by master blender Jim Beveridge, made for special occasions. It is a 40% ABV blended Scotch with no age statement, and one of the smoothest and sweetest bottles in the range. While Double Black leans into smoke, Gold Label opts for fruit, vanilla and a creamy, honey-sweet character.
What makes it special is its versatility. The brand recommends four ways to enjoy it: neat, over ice, with a little water and straight from the freezer. The latter is unusual for whisky, but works well here: the cold makes Gold Label syrupy and smooth, and the honey flavor comes through above all. A whisky for the holidays, and a much-loved gift.

Gold Label Reserve can be enjoyed in more ways than most whiskies. These three are worth trying.
Ice-cold from the freezer
Put the bottle in the freezer for a few hours and pour 30 ml into a small, chilled glass. The whisky becomes thick and silky-smooth; ideal as an aperitif or with dessert.
