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.
Not a big fan of the smoky whiskeys. The regular black is far better.
I have taken double black once. then onwards I am taking only double black.
more smokier than jw black 12yr., scents are lovely strong on the nose. people who drank with me received nasty headache including me. it feels like receiving hang over from red label with better smell and taste. the age is also not presented here. i believe its one of them cheap blend claiming it came from jw black 12 yr.
It's good
Cant get n good whisky down. Just marvellous.
