Johnnie Walker Red Label

This ones been sitting on my shelf for awhile, all the time I was thinking this is much nicer than it really is. That being said, I enjoy it more than I thought I would. Nose - Behind the alcohol swab, I feel like I detect a hint of vanilla. The longer I try to nose, the more I can only get a nail-polish remover smell. Taste - It’s light on the tip of my tongue without much flavor until it hits the sides. No smokiness, which I would imagine makes sense without being peated. When swishing around, there’s a fruitiness that almost wants to break through but can’t. Finish - Hot on the back of the throat and subsequent swallows bring the feeling back.

Earthy, peaty, smoky, rich.

A little peaty. Buttery aroma. Some wet cardboard, sharpie, and vanilla. Dry finish.
