-
Intro:
This is a very old bottling of a very common product.
-
Nose:
Sweet bready sweetness. Vanilla, honey, really prominent sherry sweetness. Nutty and delicious. Almost a complete lack of smoke.
-
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel, nice glazed donut / bakery sweets. Really nice sherry influence, surprising its here but its very evident. Faint leathery tobacco, very faint smoke.
-
Finish:
Short, mild and sweet. Honey, faint sulfur and a nice stewed fruits exit.
-
Overall:
Really shockingly different from modern Johnnie Walker Black. Not so much different or gradually changed with time. This is a night and day difference with a wildly different profile. I dig it. Its delicious.
