Johnnie Walker Johnnie Blonde, American Oak Cask, 40%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

81 / 100

The sweetness is clear here, but it does not stand alone. On the nose, vanilla and toffee sit alongside bright berries, soft malt and a hint of green apple. The palate keeps vanilla and caramel at the centre, while apple and citrus give the sweeter flavours some contrast. Its creamy, smooth texture also fits that gentle combination. The finish is light and smooth, with sweetness that lingers and a touch of citrus. That means it may lean a little sweet at the end for some tastes, even though the fruit keeps the earlier flavours varied. For someone who enjoys familiar sweet notes, the balance with apple and citrus is the main appeal.
