Description
JOHNNIE WALKER PURE MALT OLD EDITION 15Y 70CL : The now discontinued Johnnie Walker Green Label was the only whisky in the Johnnie Walker range to carry the ‘Blended Malt Scotch Whisky’ certification. Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is the new certification replacing the older term ‘Vatted Malt’ which indicates that the whisky has been blended exclusively from single malts, and not blended with inferior, inexpensive grain whisky.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Full, mellow and elegant. It starts quite restrained . Tangerine, soft chewy fruitiness with apricot jam. Smoky seaside aromas and a custard creaminess and baked apple/ginger with water. Phew. Palate: Soft with good silky/waxy mouthfeel. Cooked apple then heathery smoke. Superb balance. Finish: Heathery. Comment: Subtle and beautifully balanced. A sophisticated drink which will ease blend drinkers into malts – and vice-versa.
