Review:
Private blend aged 18 years and designed to replace the Gold in certain markets around the world. I give it the same review as Gold with respect to general thoughts. Taste is definitely different than Gold. Prices range from $120 to $150 and I find that to be too much for what you are getting. There are numerous other whiskeys out there for same price or less that have a more interesting, complex, stronger, unique, etc. flavor. I believe the price reflects the marketing of this whisky but you be the judge!
Note: See Johnnie Walker 4 Pack Review for a smaller taste of Platinum.
