Hello Zooters'
Welcome to another blog for a review of this amazing craft from the house of Johnnie Walker. They say people change colour after they drink, however, Johnnie says the bottle shows its true colours when icy cold.
Johnnie Walker - White Walker
Johnnie Walker keeps us intrigued while we pause, with this extraordinary White Walker version at 41.7%. The bottle conveys the proposal to pour it from the cooler, with the goal that's we'll main thing, however meanwhile, I'll likewise set out a glass from the rack. Since cooling whisky is truly not my thing.
Freezed
The nose… blunder… hang tight for it… fail… what nose? I don't smell anything! This helps me to remember vodka, really. Simply after a couple of seconds – maybe that is the ice uncover referenced on the name? – I get bunches of grain whisky with that run of the mill compound pleasantness and a truckload of caramel and vanilla. Nothing else occurs. A significant frustration.
It's frigid cold, yet very fat. I like that mouthfeel, yet taste-wise we starting over from the beginning: compound pleasantness, a ton of caramel, vanilla and simply a smidgen of natural product. Think banana and mango. Fortunately, a few flavours kick in to give it some life. Yet, once more, this is more vodka than a whisky, in my book. Pity.
There is not really any completion at this low temperature. Sweet and zesty, however short.
In the bar
At room temperature, the nose is considerably more expressive. That doesn't mean it is vastly improved. The smells are simply bigger, however business as usual.

Very sleek, however not, at this point fat. That is alright. This is a lot rounder and spicier (more frank on cinnamon, cloves and a spot of pepper), however, I can't generally call this fruity. Sweet, sure, yet just from caramel and vanilla. The trace of chocolate, in the event, that you utilize your creative mind and take a stab at it.
The completion is medium-long however rapidly turns around to that commonplace grain whisky pleasantness.
I am puzzled with respect to why it is prescribed to serve this from the cooler, for it tastes extremely helpless at that point. At room temperature, I discover it to be alright ish, however a long way from excellent. What's more, the 'cold uncover' is just the content 'Winter is here' that shows up on the jug when cooled, because of the utilization of thermochromatic ink on the mark. Around Rs. 2800 (45$). Pleasant authorities' thing, however, that's it. Most likely barely enough to warm the Night's Watch…
