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. 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.

One whisky in particular, Cardhu, was considered so vital that the Walker family bought the distillery in 1893 so that its characteristic silkiness would lie at the heart of the blend. Originally released to the travel retail market, Double Black combines the rich, malty flavour of Black Label with slightly peatier whisky and casks that were more heavily charred.Black Label boasts superior depth and complexity, with a smokier, fuller flavor than other deluxe blends. The flavour is full bodied and complex with the signature Johnnie Walker peat smoke shining brightly through rich raisins and sultanas. When creating Johnnie Walker Double Black the house style of Johnnie Walker Whiskies is evident with their big taste and trademark smokiness. The casks are one of the most important things to affect the colour and flavour of the finished whisky.
