Reviewed November 24, 2021An exquisitely well blended scotch. Nose resembles an older sherried single malt more than the typical JW smokiness. Palate is a delicious mix of dried fruit, sherry, chocolate, cinnamon and tobacco, with just a touch of peat smoke. The finish slowly, smoothly recedes. Whiskey enthusiasts love to slag on Johnnie for high prices and excessive marketing, but this speaks to what their master blenders can do when they're at their best. -

Reviewed September 25, 2021 (edited April 20, 2024)The King George Edition Johnny Walker Blue label actually does taste different that your run of the mill blue bottle. The initial feeling, having tasted them side by side, is a lot more bright on arrival and smokiness on the middle palate. These are not my favourite drams by any chance, but they do taste quite a bit similar to each other. I still believe money should be best spent someplace else... Even in the Green Label neighborhood borhood if you are into JW's.
