Johnnie Walker Explorer's Club Collection The Royal Route Blended Scotch Whisky, Scotland

Colour: gold.

Nose: it's quite potent and malty despite the low strength, there's especially a kind of fat fruitiness that works well (around candied peaches and melons, perhaps), as well as some peat smoke and beeswax. The feeling of hot wax mingled with fermenting hay is also welcome.

Mouth: same flavours as in the nose, with some depth, some smoke, some candied fruits,.. Finish: A little longer than expected. Takes off again, which sometimes happen. A bitterness in the aftertaste.

Comments: very high quality blend, perfectly composed.
