★★★★½ 4.7 (3 reviews)Save KSh 550 · 8% off
Pour this when you want your whisky to actually say something. Double Black is Black Label with the smoke dialled way up, so you get sweet honey on the way in and a curl of bonfire on the way out. It's the dram for a long night, a good chat, the kind of glass you sip slow and don't share too freely. And it's the full litre, so you won't be rationing.
First sniff is honey and orange blossom with a flinty, just-struck-match wisp behind it. Then the sip lands sweet and quickly dries out: honeycomb and raisin up front, then tar, charcoal and a smoky-bacon savouriness from those charred casks. Apple, pear and orange zest keep it bright, vanilla and spice soften the middle, and the finish is long and warm, all peppery oak and lingering smoke. Full-bodied and properly layered, but the famous Johnnie Walker peat is what you'll remember.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Johnnie Walker started as a grocer's blend in Kilmarnock, Scotland, and grew into the most recognised whisky name on earth. Double Black arrived in 2011 as a bolder cousin to the classic Black Label: same blending DNA, but built around a bigger share of smoky West Coast and Islay malts and matured in heavily charred oak. No age statement here, the focus is all on that intensity. Still blended and bottled in Scotland at 40%.
