A Legacy of Blending Excellence: First created in 1909, Black Label quickly established itself as the new standard for premium blended whisky. Its enduring popularity is a testament to the pioneering spirit of the Walker family, who drew on their vast reserves and blending expertise to create a whisky of unparalleled depth and consistency. It remains one of the world’s most cherished and respected Scotch whiskies.
A Symphony of Flavour: Johnnie Walker Black Label is a true masterpiece, expertly weaving together the distinct characteristics of over 30 of Scotland’s finest single malt and grain whiskies. The blend showcases the unique flavours from each region:
- Fruity Richness: From Speyside malts like Cardhu.
- Malty Creaminess: From Lowland grains.
- Smoky Spice: From powerful Islay malts like Caol Ila.
- Highland Character: From distilleries like Clynelish.
Every whisky is aged for at least 12 years in cask, allowing its individual flavours to soften and mature before being brought together in perfect harmony.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: A rich and inviting aroma of sweet, dark fruits and tropical zest, followed by hints of creamy vanilla, sweet spice, and a signature wisp of smoke.
- Palate: An incredibly smooth and deep character. Luscious notes of toffee and vanilla unfold on the tongue, followed by layers of rich fruit, all wrapped in a wonderfully smoky finish.
- Finish: A long, warming, and satisfyingly smoky finish, with a touch of peppery spice from the oak.
The Perfect Serve: Johnnie Walker Black Label is wonderfully versatile. Enjoy it neat or on the rocks to appreciate its full complexity. It truly comes alive in a classic Highball – served tall with soda or ginger ale and a lemon twist, allowing its smoky character to shine through. It is also an excellent base for a rich and smoky Whisky Sour.
