Tasting Notes
"The Black Label is definitely known as the peated Johnnie, but what people don't discuss much are all the other goodies in the stocking. The nose displays vanilla cream, citrus zest, and nectarine and as you continue the journey, toasted malt, butterscotch, and golden raisins are there to greet you. The peat smoke present and accounted for, but is a smoldering fire at best."
