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.
Just been given x2 1 litre bottles. This is such a palatable whisky, not to be mixed with anything, just alone!
Grabbed this in Duty Free before heading abroad as it seemed like a good price at £27 for a litre (and I was initially planning on just getting really drunk on it really fast). Everybody that tried it was amazed at how much they liked it, as was I. I love smoky whisky so was pleasantly surprised with a good value blend that I really enjoy. Even for the price here it's still work it if you really like pronounced smoky flavours.
Used to drink black label for a Long time, this is my first experience with double black and really like that. Medicined vanilla, smokey and woody smell on the nose, creamy sweetness on plates and malt and peppery body and good length finishing in the end .
Tastes Like TWG Tea 100% Smoky Earl Grey with Alcohol. Water and Ice Ruins It. Dinkable neat Only.
this stuff is not for me at all
