These evolve into the heady Highland aromas with the autumnal richness of stewed apples, and then the spicy dried West Highland fruits emerge with orange peel and dried apricots. These are balanced by sweet fudge notes provided to the blend from American oak casks. With a few drops of water, the blend develops floral notes reminiscent of the sun-baked Highland heather moor, then into estery pear drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalate:\u003c\/b\u003e The mouthfeel is smooth and velvety. Here the Speyside fruit character is present as orange citrus and passion fruit. The Highland whiskies appear as sweet and succulent ripe melons, and there is a West Highland dusky peach skin sweetness. Hints of honey are rounded off by a delicate sweetness from the grain whiskies. Long years of maturation of the experimental cask whiskies deliver underlying notes of vanilla and a touch of rich fruits. As these flavours begin to fade, a very subtle hint of the John Walker \u0026amp; Sons signature smoke arrives, leading to a sweet, slightly warming finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Finish is smooth and long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDistillery Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1857, Alexander Walker — Johnnie Walker’s eldest son — inherited the store and began improving its selection of single malt Scotch whiskies.
