The second recreation of the most legendary story in whisky history is called "The Journey", and even if the bottle looks exactly the same as the first recreation (called "the discovery") this is a very different, more modern blended malt. Just to remember the story, this is a recreation of a whisky that was found on Antartica after a hundred years, since Ernest Shackleton left it behind in 1907. Bottled at 47.3%abv, golden colour. On the nose, very complex and fruity. Heathery peat, oranges, chocolate. Yeast, cake, lemonade, and this agave/tequila aroma, very interesting. Cherries and sherry. After a sip, it developed into a maritime character, iodine and salt. Vanilla and oranges; it also has this "old library" aroma note. On the palate, it is rather peaty and full of flavor. Earthy, sulphuric, peaty, pepper and oranges. There is this oloroso sherry profile present; it is a lot fruitier than the first recreation. Aftertaste is very nice. A very elegant peat. Some spices: pepper and ginger; chocolate and tobacco. It is so well crafted and balanced that feels like a Compass Box Blend. Overall, this is a much more modern whisky than the first release. It doesn't feel old and dusty as the other one, and it appeals to "today's palates". It is still a great dram, 92 over 100 is my score for it.
