Johnnie Walker Double Black

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.

Let it breath

I bought a bottle of this when it was first released and didn't feel it offered anything over the std JWBL. Last week I bought another and I let it breath properly. This is an essential component of drinking whisky that is all-but ignored. Now I can taste the richness of the increased single malt content and I like it very much. I would even suggest that it is well-priced.

Yeahhh.. Not So Much

Personally, I think it's over-refined. Mellow is one thing, but I feel JWDB lacks any real character & flavor and although it goes down smoothly, there's not any real character to it. I'll take plain ol' Black or Red any day.

Love the peat!

If you like smoky/peaty Islay single malts then this is a cheap way to enjoy that. Either you like peaty whisky or you don't. I love nearly every smoky whisky i've ever tried. What I don't like is sherry finished/flavoured whisky. Yuk! We've all got different pallettes, yah. JW DB has a large dose of Caol Isla in it. If you enjoy the JW Double Black over JW Black like me, then you're probably/undoubtedly a peat fan. I suggest you splash out and try the single malts like Caol Isla 12, Talisker 10 or (highly recommended) Ledaig 10. All delicious. If you like those you can move onto the big guns like Laphroaig 10, Ardbeg 10 or Lagavulin 16. Enjoy!

Nice for the extra peat, but now too much caramel.

It's pretty nice. The JW BL is perhaps a gold standard in terms of quality/price. This double black, around the same price as the JW BL where I live, seems slightly deeper, rosier in colour, nose and taste are smokier, peatier, which I like. However, there seems to be more caramel (toffee, sweet), nose and palette, which I don't like personally. It's also tangier on the tongue, which I also don't like particularly. I like this whisky, for its affordability and heavier peat/smoke, but will probably stick to JW BL in general, because I don't go with the extra sweetness.

Decent! A bit of peat and smoke

If you like Islay whisky this is a good sipper. If you can't handle a little peat and smoke then definitely stay away. It's not overpowering in any way but it definitely let's you know it's mostly Islay.
