I've heard J&B described as having gin or tequila like flavor. Do you taste that too?
I hadn't noticed that. Now that I think about it, I might pick up some notes similar to a good Anejo tequila. I'll have to perform some lab testing.I've heard J&B described as having gin or tequila like flavor. Do you taste that too?

Oh boy, after reading those, I feel so... common and unsophisticated. Somehow, I can live with that. Whenever I read reviews like those, whether for whiskey, wine, cigars or whatever, I am reminded of the old story about the Emperor's New Clothes. Or maybe those guys can actually detect all of those notes, and I'm just tastebud-challenged...I haven't ever tried J&B, but here is some reviews from the LA Whiskey Society-

I also remember him telling me that if I ever mixed a whiskey with anything other than a drop of water he'd rip my arms off......I believe to this day he was serious.

That peaty flavour reminds me too much of Laphroaig which is just plain nasty.
