Nose: peat and smoke hit first, some sweet perfume and flowers in the background.
Taste: uh, its sweet, wasn’t expecting that. I dont get the smoke anymore, but there is some peat and some chocolate. Also oak, yeah.
Its very good, good balance between sweetness and peat.
Tried during a smoke of Rocky Patel
Nose: candied fruits, sherry
Front: light and refreshing, smooth to middle
Middle: sherry, cereal, jams, complex but the smoke is taking over
Finish: incredibly smooth, sweet, flattens the cigar and makes me want to chew the taste.
Many people want to know if JW Blue is worth the price tag. The simple answer is no. It is, however, a wonderfully complex and beautiful whisky. Enticing notes of cedar wood smoke and heavily sherried single malts are combined with the fragile antique bookstore tannic notes of old grain whiskies. The bare minimum 40% abv is certainly a sticking point. It is an intriguing whisky to be sure, but for $250usd? Stick with the miniatures.
