Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes Billy A
Nose
Gentle smoke, fruit and buttery sweetness. Green apple, green grapes, buttered white bread and woody spice. Water amplifies a gentle briney note as well as the fruit.
Palate
Soft and oily on the tongue with lots of sweet smoke. Orange chews and chocolate are complemented by darker, woody notes underneath. Water adds sweetness, damp oak and leafy notes.
Finish
Soft and lingering, building in intensity over time. Chocolate, orange and red fruit, developing into polished oak with gentle spice, which then dissipates to leave sweet fruit and drying oak.

My first dip into the JW Private Collection started something of an obsession with this lineup. No, it isn’t the greatest blended Scotch I’ve ever had. It’s up there, dont doubt. What this has is a uniqueness of flavour that is hard to find elsewhere. If I stay shy of perfect marks, it’s that it maybe dips just slightly too far into the smoke. With that said, I’d challenge you to find a more interesting take on the smoke characteristic for practically any whiskey. It does what it says exceptionally well, even if it is just that slight edge too far for me. However, that didn’t stop me from finishing off my bottle and regretting that I didn’t buy two to hold in reserve.
I like it very much
