Frequently Asked Questions

How does it differ from the old Gold Label 18?

The original Gold Label carried an 18-year age statement. The Gold Label Reserve was launched to provide a similar flavor profile (creamy and honeyed) without the constraints of an age statement, allowing for more blending flexibility.

Is it smoky?

It has a very delicate, “whisper” of smoke, much lighter than Black Label.

Why is it often served from the freezer?

Historically, Johnnie Walker recommended serving the original Gold Label 18-year-old “frozen” to enhance its honeyed texture. While the Reserve can be enjoyed this way, it is now more commonly served at room temperature or in cocktails.
