Very interesting, and not at all like other (current) Johnnie Walker blends – very delicate, with none of the graininess. Slightly earthy. Hard apple candy and clean toffee syrup. Slightly earthy with some dry tobacco notes. Green grapes, watermelon, blueberries and raspberries, even roses. Grows more citrusy with time.
Peppery. A slight hint of sherry. A little waxiness (like Clynelish), a little smoke, and a little tannin. Falls a bit flat, but this is semi-expected with the time this has spent opened on the shelf.
More tannins come through here, in an unpleasant manner.
