ok this is fantastic. like the best whisky ever or close to that. very diferent to my other favorite the hibiki harmony, Johnnie Walker XR 21 is beautiful on the nose with a very creamy vanilla note, if you pour a drop on your hand it will smell like the seed from a peach and if you let it sit for a couple of minutes you'll also get a tiny orange or some other citrus fruit note. on the palate you get a very spicy almost hot sensation, and the finish is medium with a mild smoke sensation. this is a very complex and beautiful whisky. by far the best i had so far
