Winner of 11 awardsJohnnie Walker
Double Black Whisky
Customer Rating
“Johnnie black 12 - like driving a well respected Golf GTI around a race track. Johnnie double black - taking the same GTI around the track, except without wearing a seatbelt, switching off the stability program and cutting the exhaust in half. Both excellent, one just feels a little more rough and dangerous. Like we sometimes need to be. ”
Nicholas Quinn
Description
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.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
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.
Palate
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.
Finish
Good length with notes of malt, boiled sweets, black pepper and cool smoke.
