Read More Brand Story
The creation of Johnnie Walker Double Black stemmed from the brand's continuous pursuit of innovative flavors. To create a more intense experience building upon the classic Black Label, the Master Blender selected a higher proportion of heavily peated malt whiskies from Islay. Islay whisky is renowned for its unique peat flavor, which provides the soul for Double Black.
Beyond the choice of ingredients, 'cask treatment' during maturation is crucial. Double Black uses deeply charred oak barrels for aging. This process allows the whisky to undergo a more profound chemical reaction with the sugars in the wood, imparting rich caramel aromas and spicy wood notes to the liquid, while thickening the smoke profile. Since its launch in 2011, Double Black has won numerous awards in international whisky competitions due to its excellent value and distinct personality.
For tasting, first-time drinkers are advised to try it neat to experience its powerful smoky impact. If you wish to temper the alcohol bite and release hidden sweetness, adding one or two drops of purified water is an excellent option. During hot weather, adding a large ice ball makes the texture smoother, making it highly suitable for social gatherings or as a business gift.
