Tasting Notes by Whiskyfun (Serge Valentin)
Nose
It’s absolutely incredible that this baby is actually quite close to the old Dundonian, as it starts on almost as much peat smoke and a very comparable oomph. Frankly, they’re very similar whiskies, although this JW has a little more fruits such as blackberries and hints of oranges. Maybe a little more bacon as well. Me likes this!
With water:
More differences with water. The smokiness is almost as big as in the Dundonian but there are even more fruits. Very nice shoe polish/soot combo in the background.
Mouth (neat)
… And once again, we’re in an old style, rich and dry at the same time, very smoky and sappy and not too hot. Wonderful development on many tart fruits that keep the whole ‘flying’, lemon, tangerine, grapefruits… Even touches of strawberries. Well, this baby had to be good, I guess, and it is, no doubt.
With water:
More earth, leather, mushrooms and tobacco. A little green tea as well.
Finish
Very long, more and more on bitter oranges but it seems that the peat still had a lot to say in the aftertaste.
Comments
Right, it’s the kind of bottling that us malt aficionados love to hate. First, because of its ‘bling’ side (but no worries, many malt brands seem to be catching up ;-)) and second, because of all the great old malts that were probably sacrificed. Well, it’s still my opinion but I won’t deny that the end result was of the highest orders in this case. A very great, very old style whisky, and I cannot see why I’d give it a different score. Well worth 92! Ha, blends! SGP:455.

Producer's Tasting Notes
Appearance
A dark full gold with denser shades of amber.
Nose
Harmonious and perfectly balanced; hints of smokiness and a real depth of sherry character, with hints of raisins and toasted nuts.
Palate
A velvety mouth-feel, then an explosion of flavour: Hazelnuts, rose petals, sherry, oranges. Subsequent sips reward you with more hidden secrets: kumquats, wispy aromatic smoke, sandalwood, tobacco, chocolate and stewed apples.
Finish
Well balanced, long and intense, with hints of smoke, Islay seaweed and vintage oaks.

Just cracked the seal on a 5th of Johnny Walker Blue Label last night. The only description I can come up with is it is like sipping Liquid Velvet, I am now ruined. Nothing else will ever live up to this Whisky from the land of my Ancestors!
Received a bottle as a gift & it will be opened on the birth of my daughter come next April. Can't wait to get some of this passed my ivory's. If it is better than the King George V ed then this will be an absolute winner.
ambition to acquire one soon, have it on rocks once a month.....to savour its lingering flavour.
Something to aspire to. :-)
Would love to buy this for my Grandad for Christmas, Maybe I can get my sister to chip in as this would bring some happy memories for him.
