Distillation & Maturation Johnnie Walker Double Black is a bold and smoky blended Scotch created by amplifying the peaty, brooding elements of the iconic Black Label. Crafted using a selection of heavily charred oak casks and peated malts from the West Coast of Scotland and Islay, it delivers greater depth, smoke and intensity while staying true to the Johnnie Walker house style. Bottled at 40%, it’s a modern dram for fans of darker blends.
Nose Smoky and intense with aromas of charred oak, dried fruit, clove and black pepper. Hints of vanilla, citrus peel and campfire ash rise with time in the glass.
Palate Full-flavoured and layered, the palate offers waves of peaty smoke, dark chocolate, toffee and spice. Rich oak and roasted malt deepen the flavour, finishing with lingering smoke, gentle sweetness and a flicker of sea salt.
Food Pairing Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, smoked brisket or roasted mushrooms. Also excellent with dark chocolate or aged cheddar.
Cellaring Best enjoyed now for its bold, smoky profile. Holds up well in cocktails or over ice without losing character.
Interesting Fact Double Black was originally launched as a limited travel retail release but became so popular it was added permanently to the Johnnie Walker range—delivering a smokier, more intense twist on a global classic.
