Johnnie Walker Platinum

Lovely whiskey. Paired with a braised lamb neck and butternut coulis at The Palace Hotel. Strong caramel, balanced taste for me, with lovely flavor on centre of the tongue. Lara enjoyed it once it opened up with some ice.

Got ahold of this in the duty free in Virgin Islands back when it was just about to come out in the states, brought it home to the scotch crew and we were all pleasantly surprised. We mostly agree that Green is the king of the traditional Johnny line, but this gives Green a run and was almost unanimously rated above Blue in our small, perhaps unqualified judgments. Great bottle to have on hand to think important matters over.
