How would you
describe
the FLAVOUR of GOOD Whisky?
-said Johnnie Walker
Because good whisky, such as Johnnie Walker,
is really a blend of flavours, it is very difficult to find one word to describe it. The blenders have various names for the special characteristics of the separate whiskies used in the blend- “robust,” “delicate,” “malty,” and so on. Some are chosen for a faint prati- ness, some for their "full" flavour-but all combine in perfect harmony or 'roundness." The result can only be described as the distinctive flavour of Johnnie Walker-one that you will appreciate as the flavour of Scotch Whisky at its very best. Always ask for Johnnie Walker by name.
