- Tasting notes by Billy A
- NoseFairly light but oily, with dry oak, honey and gently stony smoke.
- PalateFuller bodied than the nose suggests, moving from sweet smoke and floral honey to cracked stone, tar and old bonfires.
- FinishMedium length, with soft smoke, woody spice and charred oak.
- Producer’s Tasting Notes
- PalateThe flavour is full bodied and complex with the signature Johnnie Walker peat smoke shining brightly through rich raisins and sultanas. Apples, pears and orange zest bring freshness while creamy vanilla and spice bring a softness and sweetness to the tongue.
- FinishThe long warming finish combines spicy oak tannins and lingering smoke.
- Tasting Notes by Simon Difford (Diffordsguide.com)
- AppearanceDeep amber with bright gold flecks.
- AromaFlinty, orange blossom honey with a slight whiff of struck match and linseed oil.
- TasteStarts sweet and quickly turns dry. At the beginning it’s honeyed with a touch of smoky bacon then dries with tar, hint of bonfire and charcoal, moving to honeycomb.
- AftertasteSmoky notes waft around the finish which has a touch of dried apple sprinkled with black pepper.
