- and here I am with about an ounce + in my personal glass, of perfect size for me to gently smell, then swirl to see the adhesion cling to the glass, and then softly sip and inhale the amazing taste of this malt whisky - as I often say, I think that whisky taste descriptions that call out chocolate, and orange, and citrus etc really elude me but indeed I find some whiskies so much more alluring than others because of tastes that are subtle and fleeting and palates more sensitized than my own perhaps, can call out these overtures of water through granite and aging in charred casks of such unlikely inputs to the taste but as for me there are some basic inputs of alcohol content, barley, peat overtures, how long the flavours linger, the smoothness of the whisky and the embracing background of multiple tastes competing for your attention - and overall a drink worth savoring because as in life strong robust intrusions into your consciousness can build your appreciation of being alive AND this is why I personally believe that some highly priced blended whiskies such as Johnny Walker Blue etc are just a waste of money that could be better spent on something besides malt whisky. If you like Johnny Walker (which is a choice that is undeniably yours to make) then my reviews are not for you.
