  • The taste is thick and nectar-like with peaches and apricots at first, followed white pepper and allspice with hints of honey and vanilla in the background.

  • Whisky Advocate
  • By Jonny McCormick
  • The strength and pepperiness give this plenty of clout, with a flavor unique among Johnnie Walker whiskies: brown sugar, hazelnut, royal icing on wedding cake, nuts, pepper, clove, peat, and blackened fruitcake.

  • Drinkhacker
  • By Christopher Null
  • In any case, working through the initial rush of heat reveals an iconic blended Scotch experience, with many of the fresh bread and gentle fruit notes endemic to Black Label accounted for, only much pushier thanks to the higher abv and without only the faintest level of smoky peat in the mix.

  • The Whiskey Wash
  • By John Dover
  • This whisky was hot. The heat hit first and grew to a sharp prickle that stuck around through the entire tasting. It has a nutty note that is followed by a bit of orange peel.
