Johnnie Walker Black Label

Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Blended Scotch

Bottler: Diageo

ABV: 40%

Score: 92 Points

One of the world’s most popular malts, and for good reason. I liken blends to an orchestra where the musicians are playing as one, and that’s what Black Label does. The nose is smooth with hints of smoke, a touch of oak and dried grass, but not enough of any to throw the balance off. The taste is complex and amazingly smooth with a clear smokiness, but also showing subtle hints of fruits and a slight tartness. The finish is creamy, long, and smooth.
