Bright gold color. Bright, interesting, roasted aromas of dark nuts, dark chocolate, hint of bouillon, and delicate peat and tobacco with a silky, bright, fruity light-to-medium body and a warming, captivating, medium-length spiced pears and peaches, floral honey, limestone, and cream of wheat finish. A nice, round, easy-drinking Scotch that is well put together. (tasted on May-12-2015)

Featured as a blend of Johnnie Walker’s rarest whiskies, this Scotch billows with sweet cigar smoke from the very first sip. Underneath that, look for vanilla, oak and dry cocoa, finishing dry and spicy with cigar wrapper, allspice and clove, plus a mouthwatering saline note.
