Johnnie Walker Black Label: Director's Cut

The only way I want to ever drink black label

Sweeter than Double Black

Enjoying some JW Blade Runner Edition while watching Blade Runner 2049. Here’s some notes: Rich honey colored, medium bodied, with a velvety mouthfeel. Nose: soft and sweet - toasted marshmallow, vanilla, a pinch of sea salt. a hint of fruit, possibly raisins & dates. Some mild smoke is present as well. Palate: starts with some fruity sweetness and a touch of marshmallow. The middle grows more complex with layers of sweet tobacco smoke and some heat. The finish is long on this one- lingering sweetness from the beginning with billows of camp smoke adding complexity and richness. This whisky is tasty, complex, and rich. A thoroughly enjoyable blend - which I far prefer to it’s cousin the regular Johnnie Walker black label. The higher proof and slightly different blend makes for a more interesting whisky. My only complaint is that it’s a limited release.
