Johnnie Walker Double Black Blended Scotch Whisky

A very special 2011 edition of the classic Johnnie Walker mix, Black Label. Johnnie Walker Double Black was originally produced for the retail travel market. It combines the rich malty taste of Black Label with a slightly more peat whiskey and barrels that burn more. The result is a pleasantly warm, smoky whiskey with the usual rich malt base of the Johnnie Walker brand, really very good.

Aroma: Gently smoky and almost healing for the nose, offers hints of vanilla, a little tar, a touch of barbecue sauce, citrus and malt.

Taste: Good consistency, very creamy with a wonderfully malty base. It offers a surprising level of peat smoke that works really well. Creamy sweetness, hints of fine wood smoke, salted butter, pudding and grains.

Conclusion: Good length with hints of malt, hard candies, black pepper and cold smoke.
