Words of Whisky (84)

:

While the nose is very mellow, the palate was a bit too intense for my liking. A pretty good whisky nonetheless, but certainly not good enough to warrant its hefty price tag.
Nose
Comparable to the regular Blue Label, but everything's a bit enhanced. Oak-y. Slightly acidic with peanuts and draff followed by orange peel and candied oranges. Pepper and ginger. A tiny bit of smoke. Very mellow nose considering the abv.
Taste
Plenty of oak, a bit harsh maybe. Spicy chili pepper. Chocolate with honey, oranges and vanilla. A thin veil of peat smoke.
Finish
Faint white chocolate, earthy and subtle smoke.
