Day 6. Johnnie Walker. Walker is always a bit of a fifty fifty for me, some are good, some are questionable. This falls on the good side.
First thing that I noticed was a rather sharp alcohol smell. Unusual for the proof. It's only in the nose, not the taste, but it caught me a bit off guard.
The rest of the notes on the nose are pretty much what I expected. Raisins, brown sugar, vanilla, caramel, drieg figs, all on the sweeter side. This just screams dessert.
Taste is rather similar to the nose. There is also some cocoa, sugar, raisins and caramel, but the figs have been replaced with dates. Almost a bit too sweet and one dimensional, but for the money still allright.
The aftertaste is more of the same, but it kinda painted a very specific picture in my head: Vanilla Pudding, caramelized with brown sugar. I kinda want that now.
So yeah, all in all a rather sweet mess, but at least a pleasent mess. I need to be in the mood for something like this to really enjoy it, but it's friendly and easy to drink, and not very expensive. Can't give it more than 3.5 though, far too one dimensional.
