Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ice Chalet, 43%

Favoring whiskies distilled in winter at high-altitude scotch distilleries, this encapsulates the spirit of the north for that après-ski moment. Vanilla fudge, honeycomb, sultana, aniseed, and spicy herbal notes on the nose. It has a soft, supple texture on the palate, with flavors of red apple, blueberry, honey, vanilla, and glimpses of aniseed, ginger root, and menthol. A peppery blast on the finish, with smokiness hanging in the air. (Release date: 10/24).
