The first decent scotch I ever had, so in a way it set my framework for what scotch is. Having now had Caol Ila and Talisker single malts, which are major components of JW blends, I see the family resemblance. This is a mildly smoky scotch with a core of pleasant, malt sweetness. It led me to love scotch, so I'll always appreciate it, though may reach for single malts on the shelf first now.

This whisky holds a soft spot for me too. Before discovering single malts, this was the scotch always in my hand. It's nice to go back to every now and then.
