Had this at the hotel bar last night here in Delhi. It was my one of only two free choices here (other being Chivas 12). First of all, I'm astonished that at a five star hotel, the bartender took an ounce of this, loaded it with ice, and topped it off with water. Good thing I didn't order the Macallan 25 sitting on the tops shelf. I really didn't rate any stars on it, would've been unfair with this being overloaded with water. But I was able to tell just enough that in the 5 JWs I've had, I'd rank this bottom. For me, it's still Green, followed by Island Green, then a far far far third as Blue,Platinum, and Black as dead last.

Doesn't matter what the celebration is....I'm gonna have one this eve too, celebrating my last night in Delhi!
Pranay - glad you liked it! I have a bottle sitting right here and I will pour myself a dram in celebration. Celebrating what, I don't know, but it really doesnt matter, does it?
Okay--- I stand corrected. I graciously went back to the free happy hour here at the ITC Grand Bharat Delhi for a second try on this. This time I insisted on just one cube of ice. Such a world of difference! More of a 3 star for me. I'm still keeping Green, Island Green, Blue better than this, but....this isn't bad. Not sure I'd buy a bottle, but I'd sure as heck not turn my nose up at a having this again
Geology: I'm actually going to give it another shot tonight---going back at the hotel happy hour, but this time asking the bartender to give it neat. Will try the Chivas 12 as well

Pranay - You really have to try this one under better circumstances. I actually find it pretty nice. I haven't had an opportunity to compare it to the other JWs except the Red. And it is orders of magnitude better than the Red. Based on your comments in an earlier post, I've got my eye out for Green.
