Amber color. Cocoa, roasted nuts, and a touch of ash on the nose. A soft entry leads to a dryish medium body of honeyed multigrain toast, cocoa-dusted figs, and brown spices. Finishes with a lingering peppery honey, wet grain, and ashy mineral fade. nice layers of flavor and complexity make for thought-provoking sipping.
Malt Advocate
Just as complex as Johnnie Walker Gold, but fuller and more richly textured. (Not surprising, given that there are no grain whiskies in Johnnie Walker Green.) This is one of the finer vatted malts on the market. Its flavors are well-integrated. Youll find creamy toffee and nougat at its core, which is then layered with notes of vanilla, mint, fresh brine, and even a hint of mustard seed. Excitingly fresh and vibrant on the finish. A whisky for both the blend and single malt drinker. And at $55, it is also fairly valued for an all-malt whisky.
