Darwin, interestingly enough, I've never been thrilled with JW Blue Label. I find it somewhat dull. The expensive JW Odyssey which I have tried is absolutely spectacular, a blended or vatted malt. Sells for about $2,000 Canadian. However, for the price, the JW XR 21, a blended scotch is heads and shoulders better than the JW Blue in my opinion for about the same price. Cheers.

The latest JW Blue is rubbish for the money and cannot hold a candle to what was made 10-15 years ago
The best JW of the premium releases is still the KG5 but I would agree that the Odyssey is good and the Private Collection is also pretty decent.
Unfortunately the core range with the exception of double black is diminishing quality wise.
