Jane Walker by Johnnie Walker

Smoky and drinks very nicely

Sweeet. A little too cloying for me. I added a splash of laphroig and the result was interesting and pleasant.

1.5 stars - Flawed; 3 glasses I will not be finishing the bottle. Great concept, flawed execution. This tastes like someone decided to ruin Cardhu 12 yr. Grainy in a bad way when taken neat. Thought it might be better on the rocks - that was all wooden astringency. Yikes. Something went awry here.

Chocolatey, little harsh

Nose is very light pear and honeysuckle. Body is full, and the palate is stone fruits, honey, and leather, leading to a splash of acetic heat before fading to a soft, sweet, and clean, close. I didn’t expect much out of this, and find myself pleasantly surprised. I went into this thinking of Black Label and Green Label, but its not really comparable to either. This is almost a young Dalwhinnie at half the price. But it won’t really replace my Dalwhinnie. Or my Green Label. Well worth the price for a good, easy, drink.
