On the nose, the whisky is accessible and well-balanced. Caramel and vanilla provide a sweet foundation, while a bright fruit basket of apple, pear, and peach adds freshness. A subtle grain note of oats and malt brings depth, complemented by a touch of candied orange peel. A faint wisp of smoke lingers in the background, giving the blend a hint of extra character.
On the palate, the Johnnie Walker 18 Years initially feels somewhat thin but remains smooth and silky. The flavors are well-balanced: orange marmalade brings fruity sweetness, accompanied by dark fruits and peach. Surprisingly, the malty note is quite present for a blend. The smoke stays subtle, with an earthy, slightly ashy touch that adds a bit of complexity.
The finish is medium in length, marked by pleasant bitter orange notes. A touch of wood emerges without becoming overpowering. The smoke provides a hint of volume but remains in the background.
