Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

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.
