Johnnie Walker Black Label

Johnnie Walker Black Label with 700 ml. and 40 % Vol. A great Scotch Whisky and optimal to enjoy straigth.

We selected two different ratings of two experts for you, Michael Jackson and Paul Pacult. They show you how good this Johnnie Walker Black Label whisky really is.

Michael Jackson, Whisky Magazine:

Nose: Rich. Maple syrup, spices and mustard. Can a whisky have a hint of acidity on the nose? Yes, but rahter the acidity of a Lenny Bruce rather than of vinegar.

Palate: Marijuana. Big interplay of smoky dryness, spicy heat and sweetly malty, creamy vanilla.

Finish: Rounded with raisiny sherry. At length, mellow.

Comment
Is Black Label a great whisky? Was Dizzy Gillespie a great musician?


Paul Pacult, Whisky Magazine:

Nose
The salty thumbprint of Talisker is identifiable from the moment of pouring. Mature, moderately oaked and oily in a nutty manner. A lovely and textured bouquet.

Palate
Medium-to-full bodied. Leaps far past the Red Label in terms of grip on the tongue as grainy flavours start out dry at entry, then go pedal-to-the-metal at mid-palate with tangy, vivid tastes of peat, tobacco leaf, malt, and ripe apple.

Finish
The malt becomes sweet and zesty in the aftertaste.

Comment
A blend that I like more every time I evaluate it.
