Read Brand Story

The birth of Johnnie Walker Double Black stems from the brand's continuous pursuit of innovative flavors. To create a more intense experience based on the classic Black Label, the Master Blender selected a higher proportion of smoky Islay malt whiskies. Islay whisky is renowned for its unique peaty character, which provides the soul of Double Black.

Beyond the choice of ingredients, the 'cask treatment' is key. Double Black uses deeply charred oak barrels for maturation. This process allows the whisky to react more profoundly with the sugars in the wood, imparting rich caramel aromas and spicy wood textures while making the smoke more robust. Since its release, it has won numerous international awards for its distinct personality.

For serving, we suggest trying it neat first to feel the intense smoky impact. To reduce alcohol bite and release hidden sweet aromas, adding a drop or two of pure water is an excellent choice. On hot days, a large ice ball makes the texture smoother, perfect for social gatherings or business gifts.
