Johnnie Walker Double Black Label [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Scotch whisky that breaks all the conventional blending rules while delivering an unforgettable smoky punch?

Johnnie Walker Double Black represents Master Blender Jim Beveridge’s bold reimagining of the iconic Black Label formula. This intensely smoky blend pushes boundaries by incorporating powerful Islay and West Coast single malts that create a more aggressive, edgy character than its predecessor. While maintaining the DNA of Black Label, Double Black delivers significantly more peat influence and complexity. For whisky enthusiasts seeking similar intensity, consider exploring Big Peat Islay Blended Malt or the BenRiach Smoky 12 Years for comparable peated experiences.

• Distillery: Johnnie Walker – Scotland’s most iconic blended whisky house since 1820
• Region: Scotland – featuring Islay and West Coast single malts for maximum peat impact
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced strength that maintains accessibility while preserving intensity
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: No age statement blend focusing on flavor over age
• Tasting Notes: Deep golden appearance leads to sweet smoke and spicy cloves on the nose, followed by intense peat smoke, dried fruits, orange zest, rich raisins, and vanilla on the palate, finishing with lingering oak tannins and persistent smokiness
• Best Served: Neat with a splash of water to unlock complex layers, or over ice
