Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve, 2012, 40%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

84 / 100

The description suggests some richness from the caramel, but not a heavily sweet or weighty style. Baked apple gives the nose a clear fruit note, while the dry leather and malty palate sound more restrained. The gentle, light smoke carries through without taking over. That balance makes this appealing on paper, though the overall character seems measured rather than especially rich.
