Johnnie Walker Blue Label Xordinaire, 40%

This expression is finished in French oak XO cognac casks, making it slightly sweeter than most Blue Label releases. Classic caramel and smoke on the nose, with butterscotch, dried apricot, apple, white pepper, vanilla sauce, and chopped nuts. Apple strudel, brown sugar, sweet honey, apricot, and citrus peel flavors lead to cigar smoke, milk chocolate, and a pleasant nougat creaminess. Spiced cinnamon latte on the finish.
