Nose - Sharp bitter cereal grain sweet, faint vanilla & honey, bitter fruity apple cores Taste - Sharp astringent sweet, very splenda-like, apple core bitter, grape seed fruity bitter, faint generic "spice", saline Finish - Lingering astringent sweetness, odd fruity yet chemically bitterness, faint saline, splenda-like sweet lingers Score - 15/100 Final Thoughts - This is quite surprising as this low-end offering from Johnnie Walker is so much worse than their Black label. There is so much astringent/chemical notes in this along with this splenda-like sweetness that just lingers. Super thin, nothing really great on the nose other than it smelling very "clean" but in a bad way. It's almost like a cleaning product smell. I'm not sure I'd even want to use this as a mixer as I think the splenda sweet would come out as well as the chemical-like nature of it. Would I drink it if offered? - No Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No
