Much better then JW red, this is the starting point if your shopping list demands Johnnie Walker. Although recently I tried a 30 year old bottle of JW black not long ago (with the 'bottle remains the ownership of JW' on the back) and it was FAR better then what they're selling now. Good, easy drinking .. but not great straight, and not a flagship for scotch in general.

Unbelievably easy to drink. With over 40 different single malts blended to what is very close to perfection, this is a real winner, a terrific everyday scotch. Best if taken on the rocks.

Very acceptable blend with the oilyness of the CaolIla detectable too. Excellent straight - don't put ice in it !!

An unexpectedly decent whisky. Smoky flavour, depth, smoothness and complexity all there. Better than a lot of single malts I've tasted, IMO, and cheaper than almost all of them!

My favourite blend. I keep trying to find something as satisfying in this price range and I have been unable. Great balanced flavours and a taste that you just want to hold in your mouth until the sweet finish. No snob appeal, but a wonderful Scotch.Anyone know how this would compare to Black Bottle? Can't get Black Bottle in my area of Canada, but I would love to do a taste-off.

The old (about 8 yrs ago) black label was fantastic, but the new bottle is really not that good. Jameson 12, for example, is a much better blend.

The taste experience commences with smooth, sweet cinnamon, caramel, almond, brown sugar, malt (think Cheerios breakfast cereal), some spiciness, but not to the point of pepper, which evaporates quickly into clouds of subtle peat and smoke.FinishVery restrained peat with a flourish of smoke and grains of sea salt round out this scotch tasting experience.

Just bought and tried my 1st bottle of J.W. Black. Smooth,silky. Really a lot of wonderfull flavors to enjoy!! Much, much better than the J W Red that I tried earlier this month. Not that I have tried that many whiskies, so far this is my favorite.

JW Black is a blend that I consider an alternative to an affordable single malt. These days it's hard to find a single malt at this pricepoint or lower that delivers on quality like this does (though I fully understand the difference between a single malt and a blend and that they can't be compared in taste). A definite go-to dram for more casual drinking; don't put it on ice though, it gets very bitter and off balanced!
