Johnnie Walker A Song of Fire

This is my second tasting. The nose is young. It's nice unless you inhale too much, then the alcohol hits. There is the peat again, but it's not overpowering. Beyond that it's too thin. I like the burn in the finish - it lingers. Some of that I suspect is youth. Sometimes you hear people refer to bad whiskey as "paint thinner", or "varnish". It's not that bad, but I start to understand the reference.

The nose of the blend is lead by the scent of baking spices, quickly followed by alcohol. It's possesses a light sweetness of cinnamon and toasted nuts, and ends in a peaty smoke. On the tongue, this blended scotch is a spicy and smoky affair. It leads with spice that slowly fades into a sweet smoke with hints of burnt caramel. It has an oily mouthfeel, and the spice returns in the swallow. Smoke returns in the finish and lingers in the mouth after swallowing. The scotch leaves a glow in the chest that is almost harsh. It feels a little burnt for sipping neat, but may be quite nice in a Rob Roy.

Very little flavor, very light peat and cinnamon candy

It has a bit of zing, I guess that is the fire. There is also a bit of peaty smoke in both the nose and on the tongue. The nose is nice, and the spicy finish would be great if there wasn't something just kind of off.

A bit better than ice edition but still don’t buy it.
