Besides the color of the labels !

In October, 2004 it was announced that all generally-available Jack Daniel's products would thenceforth be bottled at 80 U.S. proof (40% alcohol by volume), which is the highest proof allowed in some jurisdictions; this will simplify the production process. (This reduction in alcohol content was condemned by Modern Drunkard magazine). Previously, the famous black-label brand (the better-quality, higher-priced product) had been 86 proof, where legal, the lower-end green label 80 proof; these marked reductions from the previous practice until recent years of bottling the black-label product at 90 proof and the green-label product at 86. Both are made from the same ingredients; the difference is determined by professional tasters who determine which of the batches will be graded out as worthy of being labelled with the prestigious black label, the rest being sold under the green label.

Green Label used to be 86 proof in the 1980's and Black label was 90 Proof in the 1980's (the Good Ole Days) Now I have Black Label at 80 Proof, so I can drink/enjoy more and I have not seen green label since the 1980's.

Are you sure you don't mean Johnny Walker? I'm not familiar with a green label Jack.
Johnny Walker Green Label Scotch is aged longer and is a single malt, whereas Black Label and Red Label are younger blends. (Black being the younger of the two)
Blue Label and Gold Label are outrageously expensive gourmet whiskies. Delicious, though.

Green label is a recent addition to the Johnny Walker stable. It falls between black label and blue label in both price and quality. I have had it, and it is very smooth, and drinkable neat. Blue label is fantastic, but can cost $60 a pour if you're out on the town.

I think you mean Johnnie walker. I don't know about a green label but the blue label is the rarest and most powerful. It is made from a few whiskeys w/ powerful flavors.
The black label is a luxury blend made up of 40 whiskeys aged at least 12 years
