This whisky is excellent. Unlike the cheaper Johnnie Walkers (red and black), this whisky is very smooth and complex. This is the only Blended Malt in the Johnnie Walker line. Because this is a blend of 4 single malts, it packs a punch of flavor. On the nose, you can tell that the base is something fruity (Cragganmore & Linkwood). You are hit with oranges and peaches as well as some honey. If you look for it, you get some of the sea spray character from Talisker as well as a hint of smoke from Caol Ila. On the palate, it’s very beautiful with fruit and floral notes. To draw a picture, imagine eating fruit and flowers from a garden on a shore of a Scottish Isle near a bonfire pit that had a fire in it the night prior. The fruit and flowers are the main event, but you are near the sea and and some fresh ashes which subliminally influences the experience of the fruit and flowers. It’s very smooth and just plain delicious.
