Message: [QUOTE="AreBee1969, post: 3991477, member: 7315"] I like to say that I have the palette of a billy-goat. I like what I like, and I do pay attention to my own tasting notes, but I rarely taste the odd things that experts taste. That said, I was given a bottle of Johnnie Blue by my brother-in-law when I turned 50, and to me, it's average and not worth the price. I'm a fan of JW Black and a huge fan of Johnnie Walker Green. They both have hints of the Island whiskys in them. The Gold and the Blue just don't do it for me. The Double Black was OK, but seemed to be peated for the sake of being peaty, and wasn't balanced. I felt the same way about Compass Box Peat Monster. You can say you make the peatiest whisky on the planet, but if it tastes like a burnt rope, it doesn't appeal to me. I rarely buy blends, but with the price of singlemalts skyrocketing, I may have to try this Monkey Shoulder. [/QUOTE]
