Tastes

This Green label contains Talisker, Linkwood, Cragganmore, Caol ila. Obviously we don't know what % of each one is in there. But it does make sense if you ever taste each distiller most whisky then if it's all in the Green Label. The smoky and peaty notes you get in here are from most likely from Caol ila 12, it taste very similar. The sweetness are most likely from Cragganmore...etc With a sniff on the nose, it's is so complex but at the same time it's so balance. There is not a single note that dominate the others. Even after a sip, you can feel all sugary flowing on top through you and all the bitterness, spices and smoky bits at the bottom all at the same time. This is indeed a wonderful blended whisky from Johnnie Walker.

Nose, floral honey caramel smells really nice Pallet, spicy note kicking in you can also tasty hint of Oak caramel and honey flavour continues. You can surely taste the ex bourbon cask. Short finish honey and caramel faded fast with a little bit of bitterness. Overall a good pinky color whisky that is light on your wallet, not for people who likes heavier flavour.

If you are buying this particular wiskey and you most likely already know it's using peated malt. But what you get the nose is a very balanced dry fruit sherry notes not too light and not too strong right in the middle. While all your complementary of sugary, smoky, peaty notes lay it out nicely surrounding your main course. On the palate your smoky, spicy and slight dry bitterness started to show up more prominently but you will still know your main course are sherry notes. Peaty notes are near none existence but you know it's there. Overall it's a balance flavour profile wiskey that you should have one in your house or even just taste once. You will not be disappointed.

This is not your normal bruichladdich whisky as it state it's U peated which is very uncommon from islay region. Beautiful floral note right in the middle, it's very similar to Jasmine or Chinese violey. Then you have your sugary, toffee ish lightly spread around the flower. Not those heavy bourbon sugary notes though. You can also get those spicy notes from the American oak from the bottom of your flower. After you take a sip, a gentle feed to your soul as you try to explore those wonderful floral and sugary notes then suddenly you feel this heat along with some American oak spice notes trample straight into your core. It's actually not a bad feeling, and for those who had any cask strength whisky this is about 50% weaker. If you like the "tiffany blue" bottle or want to try out slightly different whisky from Bruichladdich. This is for you.

A beautiful combination of American oak and Spanish oak. So you get honey, citrus, vanilla and dry fruit big flavour right in the middle. While wood's lignins and tannins are your foundation. A golden liquid gently flowing into your mouth just like a gentle breeze into your face. In general, wood's spices and bitterness will start to explode in your month like a nuclear bomb. However, Balvenie is different. It's like a stream of water running beneath the ice river, you know it's there but it's not bothering you. A medium to short finish with wood's lignins, just like a little of dry bitterness not much. Overall, I would personally recommend this bottle as one of your benchmark for tasting.
