Мягкий, сладковатый купаж с медово-фруктовым профилем и лёгким дымом; опытные ставят выше и хвалят баланс и сложность для купажа, остальные чаще упрекают в невыразительности и слабой крепости.
развернуть подробно
В аромате преобладают мёд, ваниль, спелые и косточковые фрукты, яблоко, банан и выпечка (имбирный пряник, марципан), поверх которых лежит тонкая пелена дыма, местами с солёными и слегка йодистыми, почти морскими оттенками и намёком на херес. Вкус маслянистый и сливочный, отчётливо сладкий на входе, с тёмным шоколадом, апельсиновым джемом с горчинкой цедры, орехами, изюмом, кофе и умеренной перечной пряностью; послевкусие средней длины, тёплое, медово-ванильное, дубовое, с орехами, солью и подсыхающей танинной терпкостью. Хвалят сбалансированность, питкость, ощутимую зрелость и неожиданную для купажа сложность, а также выгодную цену за возраст.
Опытные ревьюеры настроены заметно теплее (84–86): для них это крепкий, собранный, «плотный» купаж, достойный дижестив, превосходящий соседние Gold и Platinum. Рядовые оценки расходятся сильнее (79–86): часть отмечает элегантность и десертную сладость, но многие критикуют низкую крепость, которая гасит характер, и упрекают напиток в пресности и безликости — приятно, но забывается на следующий день. Общий разброс невелик и оценки в целом согласованы вокруг крепкой середины, а главное расхождение проходит не по вкусовому профилю, а по тому, считать ли мягкость и гладкость достоинством или недостатком.
Good balance and quite easy drinkable

Quick hit review. Whisky calendar - Day 8. Oh, look how posh we are today! Diageo at its finest. Appealing and well-composed, the nose interweaves honey, fennel and gingerbread with pineapple, marzipan and distant peat. On the palate, brown sugar, orange jam and hints of smoke mingle with aromatic, chocolaty and earthy notes. The moderate finish subsides with almonds, red apples and a dash of salt. I hate to say it, but this Johnnie Walker is pretty decent. RATING: 3.5/5.0 stars ≙ 84 pts → ABOVE AVERAGE
Quick review. Advent calendar 8.12. Johnnie Walker... whisky's equal to Coca Cola, everyone has heard about it. It used to be the Red and Black, but now there's so many special and "limited" editions that you can't really know what you are getting any more. Probably the main reason why I haven't bought a bottle in at least 25 years. This I actually will consider.

Promising nose. What I would call "firm". Some sweetness covered in a light blanket of smoke. Fresh soft ginger cake. Unnoticeable alc, little to no grain, actually quite complex for a blend. |

Again I get that "firm and solid feel". Not bad at all. The arrival is sweet, and the sweetness carries all the way through. There's oranges with a bit of bitter zest, like the jam that have pieces of the peel. Dark chocolate and a few almonds. |

As I said the sweetness carries on into the finish. Chocolate and almonds tag along too. Surprisingly long. This would make for a pretty good after dinner dram. |
cookie dough, tobacco, some dried stone fruits, vanilla, pepper, ok
You can drink it for about 50 €, especially since it gives 200ml extra ...

Decent stuff. There's an elegance here that I quite enjoy, but the low abv doesn't do the Johnnie Walker 18 Years much justice.
Compared to Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve, this whisky triumphs in every aspect: aroma, alcohol integration, complexity, intensity, and oily texture. Of course, its price is nearly double that of the latter, but to me, it’s still worth buying a bottle to savor.

- a pleasing, drinkable older blend - an older, woody aroma dominates - you can definitely taste the older age - stronger and more intense in taste in comparison to the predecessor 18 J. PLATINUM -approx. €60 is ok for 18-year-old whiskey, for one Blended whiskey may be too expensive - compared to a Chivas Regal 18 y. is the JW Ultimate better

For the money (50 €) and in this yearbook it is an excellent blend that you won't buy anywhere else. Very mild, quite sweet, fruity with a smoky haze at the very end, makes me crave for another dram.

Probably my first Johnnie Walker ever. You can definitely see his age. But it lacks a resounding character. Smell, taste and finish are pleasing, but boring, without rough edges. Even if the dram was really not bad, I wouldn't recognize it today - a day after the tasting.
