FinetobaccoNYC.com‘s review is as follow:

Nose: The nose is gentle, but complex, with hints of fresh-sliced bananas, vanilla, sweet maltiness, all rounded off with a touch of sea-salt.

Palate: On entry, this scotch tingles the tip of my tongue. As the liquid expands in my mouth, the flavor is complex and balanced, with sweet spiciness, hints of vanilla, caramel, touches of smoke, charcoal, and salt.

Finish: The finish is long and pleasing, with cereal and sweet maltiness followed by hints of sea salt and light smokiness.

A fire in his belly, a spring in his step, a glint in his eye: there was always something special about Johnnie Walker. In 1819, Walker’s father had died and his tough start at life as a farm lad had begun. That year, the family farm was sold and Johnnie started his own grocery shop in the thriving town of Kilmarnock. He had a natural knack for business and a genius for whisky. Back then whiskies were never consistent and Johnnie did not like that. He created his own popular inventory by blending the whiskies together. When John passed away in 1857 he left his son Alexander his business – he knew he had a gold mine at the palm of his hands. Originally named ‘Old Highland Whisky,’ Alexander engaged captains of ships to carry his whisky where every they sailed. The infamous square bottle was created to reduce breakage and 24 degree slanted label to stand out to the consumers. In 1889, Alexander passed the company on to his sons Alexander II & George, who ironically, were former master blenders and businessmen. In 1909 the name Johnnie Walker Whiskey was born to honor their late grandfather and Johnnie Walker Red Label and Black Label were born.
