Johnnie Walker Explorers' Club Collection – The Gold Route (2014) (1L, 40%)

The Gold Route is a blended Scotch whisky from Johnnie Walker's Explorers' Club Collection, a series made for travel retail. It comes in a one-litre bottle at 40% ABV and takes its inspiration from Johnnie Walker's trade routes through Central and South America. Golden amber in colour, it is described as having tropical fruit, soft smoke, vanilla and warm spices on the nose. The palate is smooth and round, with mango, citrus and caramel, and the finish carries a subtle smokiness.
