Johnnie Walker Green Label 15 Year

Pretty nice, lightly peaty and a little spiciness from the barrel. A bit on the “light” side for my palette but not bad at all

Alright so i get mostly peat, and a little bit of fruit though exactly which one eh

Pale orange. Moderately thin but noticeably oily legs. Peach pits and jasmine flowers on the nose. A little salinity and yeasty biscuits. Nice weight and vanilla cream on the first taste. Sweet scones with a gentle sour cream tang. Lemon zest. White chocolate. A pleasant drying sensation brings saliva, then the gentle smoke takes over. Phenols are mild and a nice compliment to the lemon cream. Solid under $60, on a great day you might still find near $50, and, if you do, you should buy on sight.

Earthy smokey fresh on the nose Peat and butter envelop your mouth giving way to a finish of toffee caramel butterscotch and golden fruit Heavy and oily on the pallet, a sensation of cream,butter and chocolate

My cat Onyx passed away on Monday at the age of 15. In her memory, I decided to crack open the JW Green 15 that's been waiting for the right moment. I'm tasting this alongside my already open bottles of Glenlivet 15 and Bowmore 15 for comparison/contrast. Nose: Light peat, caramel, sea breeze. The Talisker influence is really coming through here, but tamed by the other malts. Palate: Briny, dry and a little bit hot. The smoke bursts through with quite a bit of oak and spice. I didn't love it right off the bat, but there is complexity here. Finish: Lengthy, warm and spicy. Fresh apple is the lingering final flavour. This is the highlight of the dram by far.
