Johnnie Walker Platinum

After another weekend stint to Maryland, got home, grabbed some sushi and opened the JWP to wind down from the drive. I have a soft spot for JW as I really started enjoying Scotch with JW Black slowly working to single malts. Every now and then, having a blend to sip is refreshing and usually uncomplicated and perfect for those moments when you just need a dose of easy. The nose is soft and mild of apples and cereal touched with honey and cinnamon. Let it open and over time the aromas intensify. Like the nose, this is soft. The whisky delivers sweet tea, honey, salted caramel and a bit of a cereal, like Frosted Flakes. A small trace of almonds are detectable. There is a slight tinge of cinnamon and remnants of honey, oak and dark chocolate all which linger for a good amount of time. I found this an enjoyable dram that's easy, sweet and comfortable. A solid blend. That being said, this is a worthy dram if it was priced accordingly. For under $60, it's a decent value. Anything higher than that and I think one can find an equal or better blend for less money; which I had the good fortune of attaining at a reasonable price.

We were at a friend 's place this evening, and he bought this along with the Blue Label out for his guests. I loved the JW Green Label. Just not a fan of this. I really love a whiskey that has the aroma along with the palette. I just couldn't get a nose on this one. Palette---honey and light peat. Really delicate, more than I expected. Rather have the Green label any day over this
