Johnnie Walker Black Label
Scotland
Tasting Notes: This classic blended scotch whisky from Johnnie Walker can be seen in many bars and lounges. Aged for 12 years, Black Label is a versatile staple with a moderate price point.
On the nose, a pleasant oak profile is accompanied by some smoky goodness. On the palate, we're greeted with warm vanilla, caramel and a subtly present peat note. With its rich depth and inviting smoothness, this blend is a crowd pleaser and one of my favorites.
I often take this whisky neat, but its great on ice as well. It also makes a fantastic Scotch & Soda highball, as you'll often see it mixed with San Pellegrino at my desk. Johnnie Black can also make a great Stengah, which uses equal parts whisky and club soda on ice.
Price: $59.99
