Each blend from the House of Walker has its own unique character and composition. The earthy and natural flavor of Green Label pure malt blend comes from its signature malts - Talisker, Caol Ila, Cragganmore and Linkwood. On the bottle, they indicate the age of the youngest whisky - fifteen years - however there could be older whiskies in the blend as well. Swing, a very complex blend of up to 35 individual whiskies, uses mature whiskies for depth and sweetness, and requires some younger whiskies for its light and aromatic notes. The character of their blended whiskies is not about the age of the whiskies, but rather their symphonic composition.
