Johnnie Walker
Scotland
Originally released to the travel retail market, Double Black combines the rich, malty flavour of Black Label with slightly peatier whisky and casks that were more heavily charred. The result is a toasty, smoky whisky with Johnnie Walker's usual rich, malty core.
Slightly smoky and almost medicinal on the nose, it offers up hints of vanilla, a little tar, a touch of barbecue sauce, citrus and malt.
Good body and very creamy with a sublimely malty core. It offers up a surprising level of peat smoke which works really well. Creamy sweetness, hints of soft wood smoke, salty butter, custard and cereal grains.
Good length with notes of malt, boiled sweets, black pepper and cool smoke.

Where is the “smokiness”?? It WAS smoky .. now its red label!!
On the nose it is rich with distinct peaty notes. Citrus nuances accompanied with vanilla nuances are also appearent. Shortly after faint iodine nuaces can be noted. Pleasant and beautiful. Presence of Talisker shows. Younger but stronger than Black Label. On the palate sweet with peaty/smoky nuences, bonfire smoke from the cask and a little saltiness can be noted as well. Finish is long with smoke and peppery nuances.
The best Scotch I ever drink for the pass 25 years Johnnie Walker double black I enjoyed I a lot
Nice flavours and it lingers long on the tongue, but it is lacking depth. No multiple layers of flavours.
In Sweden the double black goes for around 32 pounds. That being said, it is not worth it. I feel you get far more value out of the standard 12 year old Black label, which has a significent more depth to it. This has a more syrupy feel, that reminds me of cheaper whiskys.
