Johnny Walker Gold Vs Gold Reserve Differences.

[tangcoral]

At tesco and many other places I see that 700ml JW gold reserve cost 1399

While at the duty free airport JW gold was 1850 baht.

Is there a major difference between Gold and gold reserve?

I am guessing Gold reserve is inferior?

typo, I meant 750ml

gold reserve is purely for the asian market and has no indication of age.

gold is available in north america and europe and is labeled as 18 year old.

both are based on the same single malt as core ingredient

"Is there a major difference between Gold and gold reserve?"

Only in the price, both taste as crap as each other.

However JW has sussed the Asian/Thai mentality, you dont drink the contents you HAVE TO BE SEEN to be drinking the label.

Why do you think JW Green didnt catch on in Thailand, because in a night club the bottle looked the same as JW Black, which cost less than Green.

Move on up to some single isle malts, or stick to Sang Som.

It's Johnny Walker. It is all rubbish.
