Blue Label - Islay Whiskey (got smokey taste but to some people it reminds them of cockroach smell)
Hibiki - Highland Whisky
*
Johnnie Walker is not an Islay whisky. It is blended (malts and grains) with possibly malt from Islay... And not all Islay malt is smoky/peaty/etc. There are Island, Campbeltown and some Highland ones which are to as well...

Hibiki is also blended, but made out of malts from Yamazaki and Hakushu. And no, they are not categorized as Highland. Take note, some Hakushu's are smoky/peaty/etc too...

wtf..cockroach taste..ok..that's sading riao....

now going google find out diff between islay/highland whisky.. rclxms.gif

Actually the "cockroach" sensation is due to condensation of peat aroma when your dram is diluted and/or being cooled down too much. Start off with mildy peated malts first, then slowly move on to heavier ones. You will be surprised what age can do to peat, oxidizing it and evolving it to other compound(s)...

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

Whisky has a very distinctive taste to each and everyone.
Some might find johnny walker tasted like tina water ,some might find it absolutely good.
I personally tried a few such as chivas, martinney, johnny walker and Macallan..
My personal favorite is Macallan 18, still have one bottle kept for special ocassion.
Only opened one bottle before as its freaking expensive.

Cordon Bleu is actually Cognac, distilled ex grapes. Unlike Whisky ex grains...

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?

all are good whisky...

i think blue label is smoother than the japs.
the japs particularly hibiki has a distinct taste. just had hibiki 17 years last night.
yamazaki smells like typical chivas but its smooth.
