I was sitting here listening to Buffett and I was listening to "He went to
Paris". It occured to me that I have no idea what "Green Label" is.
I know that I posted this question a few months ago, but nobody came up with
a good answer. The best guess was a British Liquor, or Jack Daniels.
Last time I needed the answer before it got to cold in Indiana.
Well now it IS COLD. So someone please tell me what green label is
so I can drink it and imagine that I "live in the islands/fishing the pilons"
instead of freezing my ass off in W. Lafayette.
Thanks for the help in adavnce.

I always thought he was referring to Green Label Chartreuse. A French Liqueur made by Carthusean Monks since 1737. It's 55% and said to be the elixir of life. There is a milder Yellow version at 40% that has saffron in it.

Why doesn't somebody just ask Jimmy what the heck he meant. My vote would be for,Heineken beer.

Haiving spent 50 + years "down island" I can tell you

The beer that is ubiquitous in the Caribbean and the world with a "GREEN LABEL" is Heineken. If you are way down island, my favourite with a green label is Hairun lager.

Also I am not sure why anyone cares where it is 5 ockloc as down island i was brought up on elevnzies.

There was a green label beer in the pacific islands. That would be in the eighties. I'm getting on but I remember it. I do not recall the origin but figured it was a local (Pacific) brew. Nice though. It was referred to as a "green label". I always imagine Buffet's song ending in the Pacific not the Caribbean, like me.
