Nose: Malt, chocolate, coffee, toffee, apples, oranges, and sherry notes like raisins, spices and caramel. Roses? Yes, definitely a floral/rosey note in here. A pinch of salt. I could forget this was a blend; the grain notes are calm and well integrated. The grainy notes that are detectable work in this whisky’s favour by adding to the earthiness of the nose. When I first bought this I didn’t love it. But several weeks later it’s really opening up. Time in the bottle as well as time in the glass bring new dimensions to this blend.

Johnnie Walker Swing : The Whisky Exchange

An excellent blend, definitely the best value-for-money whisky. Pity that its predecessor, the infinitely classier Johnnie Walker Swing Superior has disappeared. Nose: Full of sherry and fruit sweetness. Nosing this whisky transports you to a warm spring day underneath a blossoming orange tree. There's a strong scent of orange blossom and dried apples and also a little hint of oak. Master Blender has carefully selected casks to create a mouth-wateringly sweet malt whisky with a quietly spicy finishPALATE: On the palate, the Johnnie Walker Swing is very smooth and quite oily. Spicy notes balance the sherry sweetness. There are notes of smoke and faint peat, probably from the Islay whiskies. There are some cereal flavours and oak. The spice is reminiscent of pepper with hints of ginger. This is an old tasting in two different ways: first, it took place in 2016 (Sep. 1, to be extra precise) and the bottle being opened was from the 1960s, so take that into account if your tasting is not the same as mine (then again, we might differ for other reasons.)

It’s very subdued and understated, but at the same time it stays at the core of the finish. Several sherry notes return, and with them a gentle spicy tingle, all under a layer of that soft smoke. The sherry notes fade first, and we’re left with lingering smoke and salt throughout the medium finish.
