Nose: maritime character of Clynelish really shines through. Almond butter with honey. Creamy isn't a smell but I kept thinking of that word.
palate: initially, smooth honey. once again, it's obvious who's the major player - Clynelish.
Finish- medium length finish with some subtle vanilla. Decent.
Overall, a very enjoyable blend. Sort of like a sweeter and milder Clynelish. A MUCH better value than Blue Label with more character. I have two gripes. I enjoy the Clynelish influence, however, I don't feel like this blend has enough of it's own unique character. Like I said, to me, this is a sweeter and milder Clynelish. Eh, maybe I'm being too harsh.
My second gripe is the price. 70-90 dollars is a bit too high for what I'm getting. If this were about 20 or 30 dollars cheaper, I'd buy a new replacement bottle.

Interesting. I have a sample of JW Gold coming from Masters of Malt. I agree, the price of a bottle is too much just to try this blend.
