It is absolutely dissapointing. This is a $1.000 dollar bottle. And i would not even pay $40 for it. Bottled at 40%abv, Nas, blended malt scotch whisky... tawny color, most certainly colored. You know i give high scores to good whiskies, this is not the case. On the nose it wasn't that bad, Honey, Hazelnut, red apples, Cinnamon, Maple syrup, Lemom after a while. Reminds me a little of japanese whiskies.Artificial aroma, Like sugar caramelized in excess. On the palate starts Hot and bitter. After 2 seconds some brown dry chocolate cake appears. Burning sensation comes from a spice. Definitively liquorice in an unpleasant way. Finish is mouth drying, a little bitter. Aftertaste with a simple cheap pepper. Overall i give it a very fair 62 over 100. For a thousand bucks.... man, what can i tell you....
About this bottle
John Walker & Sons Odyssey is a blend of three single malts married together in oak casks, making it the first triple-single-malt whisky to be produced by the House of Walker. The whisky is bottled in a crystal decanter and housed in a box that allows the bottle to swing back and forth while always remaining upright.

I loved this whiskey. Got the opportunity to try it at one of the Johnny Walker houses. I’m not well off per say so I don’t get to try high end scotch very often. So smooth and complex.
Tried this for the fist time tonight. And its ok but has a harsh finish. Cant belive they are selling it for $1300. Gold is still the best in the range
