Its super sweet but surprisingly sippable.
N) Candied apples, brown sugar oatmeal, brandied fruit candies, molasses, vanilla from oak tannin, berries, green apple, sweeeeeet citrus
P) Dessert in a blender. The fruit, graham crust, and whipped cream and all. The whole kit and caboodle. Honey like a graham cracker. Burnt sugar from peanut brittle. Dark chocolate, espresso(!). Decadence aside, it has a fantastic balance
M) Dry, sweet, easy. Johnny blending highlighted here.
Ice makes it WAY too easy to drink. The sweetness made me only want it here and there but when I did have it it 100% hits the spot... just not a spot you want hit all the time.

@Benji-Robert Glad they did a good job on it :)
@ContemplativeFox VFM is below black but almost as good as green. Taste-wise it isnt quite like core JWs (the blended malt vs blended whiskey?) but it definitely is a nice limited edition. The vague, faint smokey phenols hidden by all the juicy sweetness is there like some reviews say but I only mention it to say how it's nicely -not- a black label type smoke. Ice brings out the chocolate/malt.
Any thoughts on how it compares with other JW offerings black/green/gold labels?
