Tasting Notes

About:

A former travel market exclusive this 1litre bottle is the triple cask edition of the well loved Johnnie Walker Black Label with maturation across three cask types: bourbon, scotch and rum casks.
Appearance:
A slightly green tinted yellow which is helped with artificial colouring with a slightly thicker texture leaving small beads down the glass when swirled.
Nose:
Quite an interesting nose with a more medicinal smoke taking the forefront than other Johnnie Walker releases. With the quite quintessential orchard fruits found across most of their range there are more unique notes such as PVA glue and cabbage.
Palate:
The thin texture carries a predominate almost ashy burnt oak note which slowly builds sweeter with more wood sugars becoming present. There are notes of tinned pineapple slices with an almost savory quality similar to sweet and salty popcorn. More fruits can be found the further you dive in with mangos, apricots and ripe conference pears.
Finish:
A medium length finish which stays on the sweeter side with some honey on burnt toast and softly spiced vanilla ice cream.
Comments:
An interesting twist on the standard Johnnie Walker Black label which provides greater depth with more tropical fruits and less predominant smoke.
