2019 24 Days of Whisk(e)y - Day 22

Day 22 - today we have Johnnie Walker Blue Label Blended Scotch Whisky, 40% ABV. This was in the 4 pack of Johnnie Walker 200ml bottles that I bought earlier in the year - mostly so I could try this one out.

Mellow aroma on this - you get a hint of sweet like syrup along with some wood and a touch of dry smoke. Very smooth taste, lots of body and richness with a lot of subtle flavors getting your attention. Some floral notes along with some honey and some spice. A bit of smoke and tobacco as well. I do wish it had a bit more oomph though. Not something I am likely to buy a bottle of for myself. It's good and interesting, no question, but for the price point I'd want something that I personally enjoyed more. If I wanted to start a Scotch collection, it would be one to get. Rated 4.0/5.0
