  Certainly up there in terms of quality. Gentle smoke, vanilla, dried fruits and a super smooth finish. My only gripe with this Wisky is the 40%abv. I just wish it was bottled at a slightly higher abv say 43 to 45. In my opinion this would had extra depth and bring it forward from excellent to one of the greats.

  A smotth scotch with notes of peat, oak, leading almost effortlessly to a smooth finish.

  Nose: oak & some smoke that blows off with time, honey, floral.
  Taste: Very smooth, lots of oak, sweet smoke and honey, vanilla ice cream, chocolate.
  
  A solid and easy whiskey. I purchased this as a gift pack that included the Black, Gold, and 18. I had never had any JW whiskey before, and blind tasted all four. I picked this as the best amongst the four, but don't feel it's that much better than the Black that I scored second best. Yet these are at polar opposite ends of the price spectrum!
  
  This is a good whiskey, but a very poor value and therefore I would never buy this again. I actually kind of feel ripped off but to be fair, the Internet did warn me. Sometimes you just have to see for yourself what all the fuss is about.

  Very peaty and noticeably lower alcohol. Little complexity and character beyond that. With all blends a drop of water helps, and here it massively improves the mid-palate and finish. Only then it’s incredibly long - just lacks definition. 89pts neat and 92pts with water. 17yr Ballentines is imho a far better blended dram and much cheaper too

  Aromas of baked red apples and toast or smoke. Honey. Distilled spirit notes.
  Very smooth and warming on the palate. No harshness or astringency
  The high alcohol gives it an off dry sensation on the palate, and there's high acidity
