About this deal
Peaty taste, rich with raisins, fresh apples and a tropical orange flavour combined with creamy vanilla. I really like JWB, so I figured, "OK, if I like that, I'll probably like JWDB"! And, no great surprise, I was right. It's like JWB, but "more". Some smoke, a "chewier" mouthfeel, some nice sweetness without being a "sherry bomb". Palate: Good body and very creamy with a sublimely malty core. It offers up a surprising level of peat smoke which works really well. Creamy sweetness, hints of soft wood smoke, salty butter, custard and cereal grains.
The Manila-Wine.com Flagship Store marks as a new milestone for us as it is our very first physical store.
So, now that I know that I like a bit of "peat", I figured it was time to "level up". I found something called "Aerstone Land Cask 10yr" for about the same price as JWDB, and it promised to be "Smoky". Game on.
Now, I don't know if that is similar to other "peated" Islay Scotch tastes, but if it is, no thank you. Rich and sweet on the nose with smoked and spiced aromas. Plush peat on the tongue with candied fruits and a touch of vanilla with a long and strong warming finish. Costco Online UK Limited, UK Home Office, Hartspring Lane, Watford, Hertfordshire, WD25 8JS.

I bought a bottle of this when it was first released and didn't feel it offered anything over the std JWBL. Last week I bought another and I let it breath properly. Nose: Slightly smoky and almost medicinal on the nose, it offers up hints of vanilla, a little tar, a touch of barbecue sauce, citrus and malt.
