1 bottles of Johnnie Walker Black Label 12YO Scotch Whisky 700mL $41.90
1 bottles of Johnnie Walker Red Label Scotch Whisky 700mL $34.90
1 bottles of Johnnie Walker Double Black Scotch Whisky 700mL $54.95
1 bottles of Johnnie Walker Green 700mL $65.95
1 bottles of Johnnie Walker Gold Reserve 700mL $94.99
1 bottles of Johnnie Walker Aged 18 YO 700mL $125.99
1 bottles of Johnnie Walker Blue Label Scotch Whisky 700mL $212.99

Total value $631.67 as of 25/11 on Dan Murphys

On sale the Blue label drops down to about $160, and 18yr old for $95 so less value paying full price

here are my 1 line reviews for my personal opinion on these

Red: great to strip paint, impress 18 year old boys/girls/kids under 18 by drinking neat and looking like you are a baller, bearable mixed with 2L of coke
Black: Very good no frills, decent depth suitable for neat, rocks, mixers, my go to if I dont want to choose
Double Black: Very good if you like smokeiness/peat. Good neat/rocks, a bit of a waste with mixers
Green: My top pick, a blend of single malts with smoke and earthiness, best bang for buck, neat or rocks, dont mix
Gold: Supposedly slightly better than green in terms of price, a bit sweeter and creamier taste, still a tad on the harsh side, neat or rocks, good if you cant afford blue but still want to impress with the bottle and gold sticker
18 YR old: Overall a little smokey, fruity and sweet well balanced. Rocks/Neat. Not convinced of the price (note: ive only had it once)
Blue: The ultimate symbol of wankery and cluelessness without the astronomical price, easiest way to tell if anyone has any idea about scotch is to see how impressed they are with blue label, severely overpriced for quality, fairly harsh for $200, more like a $80 scotch, serve in a crystal glass from Target with your pinkie sticking up but make sure you remove the Target price tag. Can be mixed because no one will notice or care. Nice heavy Bottle

Looks like our tastes mostly align, though I'd probably go the double black over the green more.

Though I'd go a different brand 80% of the time too…

I feel I had a point somewhere but I can't remember what it was…

        I'm sure it's very frowned upon, but was curious. I've known one person to distill it into a gin, and read of others doing similar.

I’d suggest criticisms of blue are equally wankerish and roll eye as blue (profanity) drinkers. its pretty common on ozbargain and just feels very tall poppyesque given the highly subjective topic of whisky tasting. Every time there’s a deal for blue people feel the need to express how righteous they are for calling out blue drinkers as (profanity). It’s very yawn.
- 4foxache on 25/11/2019 - 18:17
  
  At a guess you're a blue drinker justifying your purchase?
  - Skramit on 25/11/2019 - 18:36
    
    +1
    
    Ive purchased it once from an ozb posted deal on the 150ml bottles and they were great gifts! It’s very very smooth and easy to drink. But I don’t drink a tonne of whisky so I’m not highly attuned to what’s super good and what’s just good.
    
    I just find it rather boring that criticising Blue seems to have a particular fan club on ozb and it just seems quite unnecessary.

  The point is that that you are paying for the prestige, not the product. Kind of like paying big money for a basic t-shirt by a designer brand when, at the end of the day, it's just a plain white t-shirt (but with a pony on it!).
  
  For $200 you can get something much better by most people's standard. If all you want is smoothness, you can get that around $100 like OP said. People pay $200 for complexity and uniqueness.
  - Skramit on 25/11/2019 - 20:50
    
    Not saying you or OP is wrong, just expressing my boredom at the smug knowitall comments "lol blue is crap" every time there's a deal on blue like its some sort of achievement to point this out.

    - Shaun Prawn on 25/11/2019 - 21:13

      @mooturner "just expressing my boredom at the smug knowitall comments "lol blue is crap" "
      
      I personally take this as an opinon and usually an informed one from somebody who enjoys Whisky so not a bad thing to save those less informed and to invest their money elsewhere over a blue. Now if the Blue were say, $120 a bottle, then might be worth a taste as a matter of interest and comparison to the rest. I get what you are saying but……….opinion is good on a $200 bottle of whatever :-)
- happyblah on 03/12/2019 - 15:31
  
  I'd suggest comparing blended whiskys at all is a pointless task ("…a blend of single malts…"? So, a blend?), but that's just me.
  
  Prefer a single malt. Every time.
ILikeMoney on 25/11/2019 - 17:25

Might be OT, but how do you rate the 'New' Green compared to the 'old' Green?
I was a massive fan of the old green and pretty annoyed when they stopped making it in favour of the platinum or whatever it was called. Haven't tried it since it was reintroduced.

I would market it as a whiskey dummy blind tasting kit.

Would be fun teasing someone who can't tell between Red, Green and Gold.

  Red green and gold should be easy. But I'd be curious between gold, 18 and blue.

Blue is nice but I've had more satisfying whiskies for half the price. Blue's marketing material is pure wank. You're assured that some very very old whiskey is mixed in there. How much? Who knows! Maybe it's just a drop. How long? They won't tell you. But the copy makes the whiskey taste twice as good.

Joined ozbargain when I saw this offer just so I could warn ozbargainers about my recent experience transacting with firstchoiceliquor on ebay.

I brought a case of beer over three weeks ago and showed up one week after the purchase at the store to collect only to be told that they had the stock but not my order. They then made a comment that they often have people show up to collect from ebay when they didn't have orders in their system.

I'm now 3 messages in with them on ebay trying to get them to give my money back with absolutely no response from them. Next stop will be consumer affairs.
- MisterTee on 25/11/2019 - 20:49
  
  I had a similar experience. Got no response from them. I contacted eBay and they opened a case. Within a couple of days I was contacted by firstchoice apologising and they sent me my order.

Great reviews. For those telling others to stop criticising blue, listen to the criticism. Blue isn't bad, it might actually be the only one that's any good. It's just about 3-4x the price it should be.

It can't hold a candle to almost any $80 whisky.

Meanwhile, no deal for me, as you end up getting a bunch of Jonnie Walker instead of 4-6 decent bottles of whisky.
