Product Description:
Johnnie Walker Double Black is a full-bodied Blended Scotch Whisky designed as a smokier, more intense interpretation of the iconic Johnnie Walker Black Label. Crafted using a selection of naturally smoky single malt whiskies (particularly from the West Coast and Islands of Scotland) and others matured in deeply charred oak casks, Double Black amplifies the signature peat smoke and rich spice notes. It offers a complex, smoldering flavour profile for those seeking a bolder Johnnie Walker experience.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Pronounced peat smoke immediately apparent, reminiscent of bonfires or smoldering wood. Underlying notes of vanilla, dried orange peel, raisins, and subtle cloves peek through the smoky layer.
-
Palate: Rich and intense. Waves of peat smoke and charred oak dominate, complemented by flavors of spiced apple, dark fruits (like plums and raisins), creamy vanilla, and a touch of black pepper or anise. The mouthfeel is substantial and warming.
-
Finish: The finish is long, powerful, and warming, leaving a distinct trail of lingering peat smoke, oak spice, and a hint of tarry warmth.
Overall, Johnnie Walker Double Black delivers a robust and decidedly smoky experience, building upon the familiar Black Label foundation with significantly amplified intensity and smoldering character.
