I love mythical whiskies. There is something very special about drinking whiskies that might dissapear at all after you have them. One of such cases is this 1970s Johnnie Walker Old Harmony, a special release for the taiwanese and japanese market 5 decades ago.
This one can only be found nowadays on the secondary market for quite a hefty sum of money. Bottled at 43%abv, Johnnie Walker still used to walk to the left in that era.
On the nose, i get almonds, a very nutty profile. Pie and grain whisky. Lemon. Afer a first sip i get chocolate cake.
On the palate there are just two notes: Creamy cake and almonds.
Aftertaste follows the same rythm but with a hint of peat. Hay & vanilla custard.
Overall, this is a very rounded blend, nothing to die for, but i guess this was very popular back in the 70s. It is always nice to drink a piece of whisky history, my score for it is a honest 87 over 100.
