Johnnie Walker
Double Black Blended Scotch Whiskey
In the JW lineup, this is now my entry point. I've always found the Red a little harsh (I enjoy everything neat), and maybe it's my advancing age, while I used to really like Black but now think it's too smokey. Palate evolution I guess...
Mellow peat, perfect barrel char, light honey, distant campfire smoke. Perfect just by itself and a cold whiskey stone.

Mar 4th, 2018Mild peaty, dates, spicy with strength, a bit zesty, and hint if sweetness. Very straightforward and easy to savor. The c/p value is high, and I will have her every night.

Probably on part with many single malt scotch available.
