Review transfer from Barreled from March 2016 The best selling blended scotch in the world, using I believe over 60 varieties of single malts and grain whisky. Heavily colored and chill filtered, but for a blend sold in such quantities world wide that is to be expected to maintain consistency. On the nose there is toffee, light apples, honey, dried figs, and light oak spices with a hint of salty smoke no doubt from the Talisker in the blend. Very smooth palate but unremarkable with a bit of sweetness. Finish is medium-short with the signature JW smokiness. A good, nicely priced every day scotch; neat, with ice or mixed, but I think this whisky is over engineered. Nothing stands out (except the smoky finish) as it is trying so hard to fit everyone's tastes. But I suppose that was the whole idea, huge volume of sales. 3.5
