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.
Double black is great...Tks to JW
I really enjoy the smoky flavor of this JW series. It has a pleasant finish similar to many of the single malts. WIll definity add this to the collection. Glenlevit 12 is still #1 but this is right up there.
great taste
this blend offers sweet complex smoke, not heavy peat not heavy char but a delicate combination of both. Double Black is oily, sweet, smooth, smokey and sweet - simply fantastic!
Tasty and smoky. Smoky is on the top overpowering other flavor but overall is smooth so you can easily finish a bottle with friends in a couple of hours.
