Johnnie Walker "Melt"

[sirius]

Can anyone please tell me more about this obscure/ duty-free bottling of Johnnie Walker called "Melt"? A gentleman from India told me of this, and said that it was smoother than the Blue Label. He figured the age of the whisky is near that of the Gold Label. But I cannot find any reference to it on the internet. Living in the US, we have the Pure Malt/ Green Label; but he insisted that it was not same whisky. What is this stuff?

As I posted earlier, Johnnie Walker supposedly has a bottling called "Melt"; available only at duty-free and overseas. But no one seems to know of it, and Johnnie Walker will not list anything about it. Why all the silence?

Sorry I have never heard of it. If the company doesnt list it it may be a discontinued line or it may never have existed. The only way to find out is to send them an email or go to a duty free shop in an air port and see if u can buy some

Sirius - we have checked the globe - well, OK, so not really the globe, but we did check with Scotland and India. Our contact at Diageo (owner of Johnnie Walker) has not heard of this "Melt" and neither has their contact in India! So, if you or anyone else out there can get a picture of this "Melt" product, PLEASE post it here or send to me - Joanne (at) CCIN.com - You MUST put "Whisky.com" in the subject line, otherwise, it may be overlooked, and I certainly would not want to miss this email as so many are now are all wondering what it is!

Thanks Jojo! Your information is greatly appreciated! I do not know where to find a photograph of this illusive Johnnie Walker "Melt"....

I can check over here in Germany and see if I can dig up any info. It is highly possible that it was named something different and is either being pronounced incorrectly, or was recalled incorrectly, as someone might do if consuming this "melt" in quantity and trying to recall the name later.

Dear Mr. Wayne Andrews,

"....Johnnie Walker "Melt" would have to be specially ordered from a specialty
liquor outlet or a duty free shop closest to you. Currently we have marketed
Johnnie Walker Melt product only for the international market place at this time...."

It may be named differently in different countries

Dear Madam/Sir,
I am writing to tell you that I purchased a bottle of Johnnie Walker Red Label for Thanksgiving........we opened it and it is very harsh and bitter tasting. We are both 79 years old and we think we know what is good or not so good. This bottle was definitely not very good. We have purchased many kinds of Scotch over the years, and as I my husband stated.....this was really bad and he would not drink it.
You may or may not care.........but thought I would let you know what we thought about your Red Label brand.
Thanks, Janet

Well Janet, the red label isn't really very good. Try the black, or perhaps the green before it is gone for good. They are much better, and made with older whisky.
I think of the red as a mixer whisky. Diageo probably does as well.
