while jw blue is indeed a fine blended whiskey, relative to the scores i've seen on many other fine, equally smooth, and altogether more distinctive whiskeys on this site, it scores too high. so in an attempt to even things out a bit, i'm trying to adjust the average. seriously, look at some of the other scores of the fine whiskeys. the best average you'll tend to see is around 85; while jw blue is nice, it's a big homogeneous and indistinctive, worthy of no higher a score than the average earned by many other fine whiskeys on this site.

- Color
- Thick orange amber.
- Nose
- Candied citrus peel, purple flower bushes (the kind bees like), dripping honey, wet oak wood.
- Body
- Luxurious on the tongue, though indistinct.
- Palate
- Old oak at the fore, a bevy of other flavors swish elsewhere. Mild all over - no attack whatsoever.
- Finish
- Verrrry long and warm, indicating some serious age blended in there. Smoother than a baby's bottom.
This is really good rich man's candy - smooth, varied, and an excellent mature finish - there may not be a finer blend on planet Earth for mere mortals to imbibe.

- Color
- Dark amber
- Nose
- Powerful, yet extremely delightful burnt wood smell that sifts through your nose. Fiery, sweet, and very spicily enjoyable smell.
- Body
- Heavy texture, great spicy sweet feeling on and especially around the tongue, numbing the pallet, great to breathe in. Absolute pleasure.
- Palate
- Spicy burnt oak that lingers in your mouth creating an anesthetically pleasing feeling. It reminds me of euphoria, with a mix of nostalgia (finished my bottle in a year's time).
- Finish
- It has the greatest aftertaste of any whiskey I've ever had. Long lasting spicy feeling in mouth, throat-warming feeling, The best is the tongue + pallet-numbing feeling it gives you. Lasts so long...
Buy this if you have the money.
