Palate: Vanilla, nutmeg, honey, cinnamon, mild amount of peat smoke. Very round, full, and silky mouthfeel. Johnnie Walker Gold Label Nose: Honey and heather with thick caramel notes and a subtle nutmeg spice. Dried meadow flowers and a hint of fresh banana. Palate: Smooth and succulent with a honeyed sweetness that's typical of Johnnie Walker. There's more to this though, the floral elements are quite prominent and there's a spiced sweet vanilla note too. Johnnie Walker 18yr Nose: Honeyed cereals, Cadbury's Fruit and Nut, distant bonfire smoke, clementine and spring blossom. Palate: Peanut brittle, candied peels, plump sultana, a whisper of floral malt gives it an aromatic mid-palate, before giving way to a whisper of dry, earthy smoke. Johnnie Walker Double Black Nose: Significant oak presence. Notes of plum wine, cinnamon almonds, solvent, vanilla. Palate: Smoky and sweet. Honey, clove, wood fire smoke, spiced pear, pecan rolls. The sweetness and smoke linger after the relatively short burn. I get notes of cherry cola very late in the finish.
