Johnnie Walker Explorers’ Club: The Gold Route
Country: Scotland
Region:
Type: Blended Scotch
Bottler: Diageo
ABV: 40%
Score: 91 Points
The second expression in the Explorers’ Club travel retail series, and inspired by Latin American spices and fruits. The nose has notes of mango, grapefruit, pineapple, mild smokiness, and a hint of vanilla. The taste is smokier and peatier than most Johnnie Walker expressions, and the fruity notes are those of grilled pineapple, mango, and red peppers with a touch of vanilla for balance. The finish is long, smoky, and smooth with subtle touches of grilled fruits. (April, 2013)
