starts freaking out the neighborhood”

Pretty Green/ Green Label.

I picked up this bottle late last year but never got around to opening it. I have always enjoyed the Black Label expression and felt that I should give the next step up a try since many people I have talked to online really enjoy this Blended Malt. To start I have to say I really like the square bottle, I don’t really get into bottles much because the real prize is the spirit inside but the bottle just feels nice in my hand while pouring it... I don’t know if that is weird but I like it. The colour of the Green Label is a beautiful honey/amber. While looking at the colour I was tilting the glass a bit and noticed that this whisky has some long legs which is another thing I don’t usually notice much in whisky. The nose is interesting as I get a little smoke and salt but there is an underlying scent of vanilla, allspice, and banana. Oh... whoa... the first sip is fantastic. My mouth is coated in this wonderful mouth feel that slowly warms me. I get that hint of smoke and salt followed by vanilla and cinnamon. The finish is sublime in that in finishes with peat smoke and toffee that just goes and goes and goes. I don’t drink many Blended Malts but this is the top of the list. I am enjoying this so much that I know after one dram it will have a permanent place in my liquor cabinet. I don’t mean to blow smoke as to my own importance but this dram would be enjoyed by everyone I have ever drank Scotch with. There is just enough smoke for Islay-addicts like @tigrelys and enough sweetness for Speyside-aficionados like my dad. This is the sort of whisky a person is looking for when you want to introduce people to Whisky when all they know is The Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, and Ron Burgundy's Scotchy Scotch Scotch. I bought it at $75 which is a close to what I usually pay for Single Malts so I don’t feel like I overpaid in the least. I suggest you give it a shot the next time you are at a good whisky bar.
