Johnnie Walker Double Black

Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Blended Scotch

Bottler: Diageo

ABV: 40%

Score: 92 Points

This is a smokier version of Black Label, and the nose is rich and buttery with a good smokiness that underscores the name. The taste is spicy and thick with good cinnamon and vanilla notes, dried apples underneath and hints of orange peel with a lingering smokiness. The finish has notes of orange peel, allspice, and a touch of wood smoke.
