Here's my second review.
Look- It looks awesome
Smell- Well, there's definitely the smell of oak and smoke, but there's caramel undertones to it. It smells slightly sweet. I wish I had a better nasal receptor.
Taste- Well, this is different than the Johnnie Walker black. While I feel black has more of a darker/woodier taste, this is slightly lighter. The initial sweet taste is bombarded afterwards with a taste of peat, oak fruit, and some other spice I can't seem to put my hand on.
Finish- The spices linger and since it's JW Gold, the harshness of the spice is mellowed out . I feel like there's almost a meaty aftertase, with the lingering of honey.
While drinking this, it went down the wrong tube, and I choked a little. It was a spicy taste but it felt nice. I don't know why i'm including it in this review, but it happened.
THe website says to take the bottle and freeze it for 24 hrs before drinking. I did this, but I let it thaw out completely for about a week before drinking it. But that's mainly becuase I forgot about it and I was busy doing school work.
And again, I drank this neat out of a shot glass.
