White Walker by Johnnie Walker

Nose - (room temp) Sweet grain vodka, hints of melons & berries, light vanilla caramel (chilled) very subtle, light vanilla scented grain vodka. Taste - (room temp) Overly sweet splenda sweet, apple juice, wet hay, light artificially sweetened & flavored vanilla frosting, light young oak bitterness (chilled) no change Finish - (room temp) Lingering medicinal splenda sweetness, light fruity bitterness, hint of melon rinds (chilled) no change Score - 11/100 Final Thoughts - Marketing at its finest. I'm sure some people might like/appreciate this, but holy crap. This tastes like super young vanilla flavored potato/oat vodka. The color is super light, making me think I'm not far from the truth. The initial taste reminds me of High West's Silver Oat Whiskey, which is a barely aged oat whiskey. The chilling just mutes the unpleasant nose a bit but otherwise doesn't change the flavor profile much. This is pure gimmick from Diageo and they got me to bite w/ the fancy plastic shrinkwrapped bottle & Game of Thrones theme. Would I drink it if offered? - NO Would I specifically order it? - NO Would I buy a bottle? - Sadly I already did, but mainly for the bottle

Surprised to say the least. Black label is a go too for me for the money. This is as tasty to me. IMO. Was a little worried I was getting re-packaged red label at a more expensive price. It’s completely different. Give it a try. And the bottles cool too. So that’s a plus.

I give this a 3.75. The aroma is caramelized brown sugar and the palate is sweet fruit apple with a touch of smoke. I expected this to be bad, but it’s pretty good. My only complaint is that it has a thicker viscosity than normal and it’s a lower proof than I care for.

very peaty, slightly smokey and very smooth. like drinking a cigar flavored ice cube. interesting and not bad straight from the freezer.
