Johnnie Walker Blenders' Batch Rum Cask Finish, 40.8% vol, 500ml;

The Johnnie Walker Blenders' Batch Rum Cask Finish is an experimental release that was finished in barrels that previously contained Caribbean rum, adding a unique twist to the whisky. Here are its tasting notes:

Nose: Sweet aromas with hints of acetone, white pepper, and sour yellow fruits like apple, pear, and banana. Exotic fruit notes such as pineapple also emerge.

Palate: Delicate entry with spice, mainly white pepper, mixed with yellow fruits like pineapple and pear. Brown sugar, coffee beans, and cocoa follow, creating a rich and layered experience.

Finish: Medium persistence with black pepper, spices, cocoa, and yellow fruits. The intensity is below average, making for a fairly balanced but not overly prolonged finish.

This whisky was designed to bring a rum-like influence to Scotch, making it a fascinating experiment for those who enjoy both styles.
