Johnnie Walker Blue Label

Nose - Some bitter peat, dried apricot, plum, stained lightly toasted leather. Palate - Light, smooth, maybe some bitter wood and more of that dried apricot/plum. Its a light fruity note, nothing crazy but nice and easy to sip on. Theres some herbal/vegetale notes as well that kind of pair well with the dry fruit. Almost like it would be a great whiskey to have with a charcuterie board. Finish - A very light a smooth version of the palate. Not my speed but definitely one of the better scotch’s ive had.

At first I thought it was bland, very smooth but not complex at all. However, I have found that if you pour a respectable sized dram and spend some time with it, without cutting it with any water or ice, then a lot of flavours pop out and it just gets better and better. Starts floral and grassy, like a meadow, along with dried fruits. Then you start to get more honey, then eventually a bit of christmas spices and more sweetness, reminicent of christmas cookies. Its damned good stuff if you pay attention to it.
