Johnnie Walker Blue Label Celebrating Year of the Horse, 2014, 43%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

88 / 100

At 43% ABV, this blended whisky has a quietly composed character. Dark chocolate and cocoa meet toasted malt and honey on the nose, while the palate shifts toward hazelnut and subtle spice over a creamy chocolate-and-malt foundation. The long finish brings floral sweetness, gentle smoke, and lingering honey. The contrast between cocoa, grass, and smoke keeps the sweetness from feeling one-note.
