My go to scotch when I...
My go to scotch when I am out on a Friday night unwinding with friends. On the rocks or with a club soda its perfect way to end the week.
On the nose it is...
On the nose it is peaty, peppery and citrusy. On the palate rich with oaky, peaty, citrusy and spicy nuances. Finish is long with peaty, fruity and caramel notes. It is one of the best 12 year old blended whiskies in the world and my personal favorite. However it does not smell and taste as it used be around 10 to 15 years ago. I think they use less Talisker in the composition now as the whisky is much less peaty. In addition the manufacturers seemed to have used older whiskies in the blend earlier as Black Label always felt like as if it were more matured than 12 years. But now the company have Green Label which is 15 years old vatted malt without any grain whisky in the blend. I think it is the reason more matured malts now go to the Green Label. However good whisky Black Label can be it is still distiguishable that it is not exactly what it used to be. Still I personally love it and think it deserves its reputation.
