since i didnt manage to get japanese whisky like yamazaki or hibiki...i end up getting this instead.

For those who have tested, what are the difference comparing this blue label johnie walker with hibiki/yamazaki?

The best source of information is you taste both and you'll immediately taste the difference, unless you have a dead palate.
I'd rather buy a bottle of Famous Grouse than an overrated blue label.

it is the thought that counts.

ppl have personal preferences on malts like cars. some ppl like different flavours not neccesarily exp.

i think i have that..dead palate....never could differentiate their taste....remember vividly last time when we have 3 types of chivas; 12, 18 and royal salute...take a sip on each..all taste the same to me, lol...

hmm..not sure about overrated, but i readed someone once said famous grouse are cheap whisky or something... but i guess each their own then.. aint gonna judge on something i dunno or dont take... nod.gif

JW Blue Label 18yo whisky

Hibiki/Yamazaki is Jap whisky but their 12YO is comparable or better in terms of taste. But then hard to find now.

Still its a good whisky in itself. Like other /k says, seldom you will find cockroach smell in an 18YO

Very smooth on the throat. I'll choose it over most 18 years whiskies although generally, I'm more of a whisky lover!
