Johnnie Walker
Double Black Blended Scotch Whiskey


In the JW lineup, this is now my entry point. I've always found the Red a little harsh (I enjoy everything neat), and maybe it's my advancing age, while I used to really like Black but now think it's too smokey. Palate evolution I guess...
Mellow peat, perfect barrel char, light honey, distant campfire smoke. Perfect just by itself and a cold whiskey stone.

Not what you expect from Johnny. Has a peat overtone.

Probably on part with many single malt scotch available.

Smokey, but not peaty, seems a bit artificial but quite smooth otherwise
