Tastes

Sweet vanilla on the nose, spicy cinnamon with spearmint notes on the palate, finish is slightly bitter and dry. Surprisingly better than I thought it would be.

Strong vanilla, like sugary candy on the nose. Followed by an immediate punch of sweetness on the tongue with no burn. Transitions nicely from a sweet milk chocolate creaminess, to a short but slightly bitter finish. A nice safe choice - unexciting but pleasant to sip.

Strong notes of vanilla and spices; high ethanol. Intense vanilla sweetness with the perfect amount of cinnamon spice. A longish sweet finish that makes for an excellent dram! A wonderful surprise and a new favorite.....IF I can find it again.

Wow! I’m surprised at how similar this is to bourbon. Vanilla sweet on the nose and palate, with a lightly smokey spice and slight charred bitterness on the end. Very enjoyable sipper.

Vanilla and dark fruit on the nose. Heavy sherry notes with roasted coffee beans and peat on the palate, and a medium bitter finish. Honestly let down by this one. There’s nothing exceptional about it, in my opinion.

Vanilla on the nose with a slight red apple flavor. Smooth, with a mellow, slightly bitter finish. All in all....an average (introductory) bourbon that is easy to drink, but sadly uninteresting. Had higher hopes with this one.

Strong caramel on the nose. Rich, spicy and sweet flavor with a mouth watering pucker of lemon zest. Dry finish.

Strong honey on the nose, followed by peat and light smoke flavors. A smooth oaky finish. Flavors become more subtle as it sits, more balanced. Has a slightly bitter end note. Not my favorite Johnnie Walker, but a decent sipper.

A nice sweet vanilla on the nose, an orange spice with an oily sweetness on the palate, and a somewhat longish finish. Very nice!

Sweet and floral on the nose. Smooth with no burn, and a sweet sherry taste. Finishes on an oakey note.
