About this deal

I suggest you splash out and try the single malts like Caol Isla 12, Talisker 10 or (highly recommended) Ledaig 10. This was the character that was developed by three generations of Walkers in the nineteenth century, and owed much to the Walker's proximity to the West Coast whisky producing regions that were traditionally home to the most strongly flavoured single malts. v=1596112826","options":["Size"],"media":[{"alt":"Johnnie Walker BLUE Label 70cl","id":6698738909235,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1. Nose: Slightly smoky and almost medicinal on the nose, it offers up hints of vanilla, a little tar, a touch of barbecue sauce, citrus and malt. Derived from blending whiskies matured in heavily charred oak casks and specially selected whiskies from the West Coast of Scotland with a naturally smoky flavour, Johnnie Walker Double Black embodies the characteristics of Johnnie Walker Black Label, whilst delivering a new, full-bodied intensity that makes it an unrivalled whisky choice.

Peat is sometimes added at this stage, which helps the drying process and gives the finished whisky a smoky flavour. v=1660748950","width":640}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"The world-famous Chivas Regal Scotch blend has been a luxurious choice since the 1900's. The flavour is full bodied and complex with the signature Johnnie Walker peat smoke shining brightly through rich raisins and sultanas.v=1650103866","width":800},{"alt":null,"id":21619817906227,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1. v=1596112823","options":["Size"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":6698738712627,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1. I'm not going to pretend that it tastes like the medicine cabinet on a deep sea trawler during a heavy storm in the Malin seas but it tastes of Islay, albeit in a less 'challenging' form, and has great balance. The casks are one of the most important things to affect the colour and flavour of the finished whisky.

Awarded with Double Gold-2019 -The San Francisco World Spirits Competition, this Scotch makes a gift of exceptional quality Perfect to be enjoyed at home neat or on the rocks. Double Black, Johnnie Walker´s boldest and most intense Blended Scotch Whisky, is the darker interpretation of the iconic blend Johnnie Walker Black Label with double the smoke and double the intensity.

Now, I don't know if that is similar to other "peated" Islay Scotch tastes, but if it is, no thank you. If you enjoy the JW Double Black over JW Black like me, then you're probably/undoubtedly a peat fan.

Wonderfully long, warming finish, smoldering spice from oak-aged casks, powerful lingering smokiness. I like this whisky, for its affordability and heavier peat/smoke, but will probably stick to JW BL in general, because I don't go with the extra sweetness. v=1596112826","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"The rarest whisky from Johnnie Walker-a special bottle for the special occasions. id":1791346901043,"title":"Johnnie Walker Blue Label Whisky 70cl","handle":"johnnie-walker-blue-label-70cl","description":"The rarest whisky from Johnnie Walker-a special bottle for the special occasions. I bought a bottle of this when it was first released and didn't feel it offered anything over the std JWBL.Laphroaig and the now expensive Lagavulin are my preference (smoke, peat, iodine, TCP, seaweed, tar, the Full Monty) and I never, ever drank blends. Enjoy it on the rocks, with a dash of still or sparkling water or serve it in a tall glass as a unique Johnnie highball with the mixer like lemonade, ginger ale or peach iced tea, for an electric burst of bite and flavours. Peaty taste, rich with raisins, fresh apples and a tropical orange flavour combined with creamy vanilla.

Its distinctive character stems from its use of a remarkably diverse range of malts, drawn from over 700 casks. I sipped it suspiciously and discovered it to be a whisky put together with great skill although missing the smokey, peaty, medicinal elements I love.
