Johnnie Walker Island Green

Smoky with hints of charcoal. Reminds me of Lapsang souchong tea

Peaty sweet soft taste. Nice retro taste.

I bought this thinking it was Green Label. What a mistake! This is a very dissapointing whiskey that does not compare to the whiskey it pretends to be. Not bad, per se, but it completely lacks the smokeyness and complexity of Green Label. Some iodine, some salt (likely from the Caol Ila), some butter:cream on the finish but not much else. Where is the peat, where is the smoke?

Mild peat. Vanilla cream soda. Slightly smoky and earthy

A sweetness off the bat reminiscent of honey, then turning into a drier but still relatively light dram. theres some oak, straw, dashes of caramel, little bits of minerality, char and then builds up to a moderate peat, higher than black label but milder than most islay. the finish is dry, medium length with light white pepper spice. This is a decent dram. Nothing stood out to me much other than its carribean point of purchase. its much better than black label but i feel even macleans nose beats this one.
