Blended
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.
Want this
love it
Having started my drinking with ultra-cheap rot gut 'Indian whiskeys' (which are essentially whiskey flavoured industrial spirit derived from molasses) I absolutely abhor all whiskey. Bacardi and Absolut with tonic water are my preferred tipples. I have tried sipping single malts and the better blended whiskeys but never could get the rot gut taste out of my memory. Was forced to try Double Black in the company of whiskey drinkers and what a revelation. That smoky, peaty almost mineral charred wood. The complex, beautiful lovechild of vanilla with Maple Syrup. I ran away with the bottle..... And heresy be told just did a half and half with decaf coffee. I'm in love. I'm planning orgies that includes coffee, kahlua, Bailies and ground cinnamon. Gotta go... There's a Scottish lynching party trying to break down my inn keeper's door!
plain black is much better double black is more sedating
Iam satisfied
