Johnnie Walker Blue Label King George V Edition
Country: Scotland
Region:
Type: Blended Scotch
Bottler: Diageo
ABV: 43%
Score: 93 Points
This whisky was blended from malts produced at distilleries open during the reign of King George V from 1910-1936, including a healthy measure of Port Ellen. The nose is peatier and spicer than the regular Blue Label, but also has notes of vanilla cream. The taste is smoky yet creamy, with classic Islay notes of tar and creosote balancing out vanilla and a bit of lemon zest. The finish is smoky and long.
