Johnnie Walker Green Label 15 Year

Magaged to get a hold of it and it was really good, especially for the price! Much more complex than the Black Label, and very well balanced. Already finished half a bottle over a couple of days :). Highly recommended if you can find it. I normally like it neat, but with a dash of water, greatly opens up the flavours even more!

[7/17/15] Picked up a bottle for $70 + tax last week at a large liquor store in Orlando near the Rosen Shingle Creek. Even the guy at the shop had no idea how they lucked into a case of 12 that day and I'm sure it's already sold out. Bought 2, but should've just bought the whole case - just wasn't sure how we were going to get it home. Still my luckiest day in the history of whiskey consumption. The nose is light and peaty, minimally floral and slightly sweet malty. Flavor is perfectly balanced, yet conservative. I pick up the Talisker thread readily easily - brisket smoke, peat, salty malt. Not sure on the others and their roles to play but very full, slightly oily but not too much, very fruity (citrus zest/blossoms), and a touch of pepper spice at the tail. No raw aftertastes, the smoothness just leaves you waiting for the next sip. A perfect blend.

Thanks to an awesome friend, I was able to score a bottle. For the $70 I paid, this whiskey was well worth the wait. The whiskey is smooth and balanced with all the right flavors. Honey is definitely a rise in taste. Fruits and nuts shine a little in the sweeter tones with just the right amount of peat. A+ in my book.
