Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year Old

Great blend ! My only criticism would be is that the bottle glass is so thin, you wouldn't dare knock it or it's curtains for your whisky ! Decanter soon :D

6.5/10 Definitely an acquired taste.

Nice one I love it :)

Great taste--:)

I've been a single malt man for years, at last count owning a collection of around 40 different label's, with a heavy leaning towards the Islay Malts. So I was very sceptical whether I would enjoy the bottle of Black Label I was given as a gift. I couldn't believe the delicious complexity of flavours that filled my mouth on that first sip, needless to say it has now become a regular tipple for me when I'm just enjoying a quiet night in. Slanch !

Black Label is refined, very well balanced and because of at least twelve years of maturation, very smooth. The best choice for your 'everyday Scotch'. The malt fundamentalists out there should give this blend the respect it deserves.

Great depth of flavor, smooth and well balanced. Enough kick but no hint of the thin, vodka-like graininess of bottom shelf brands. Never mind that it is a blend; nowadays it always seems to come at a single malt price. Never seen it on special offer :-( I am nearing the end of a bottle so I had become blase about it. I forgot how good this dram is until I had somthing a bit cheap and nasty yestersday for contrast. That made me appreciate again how good this fine scotch is.

Johnny Walker Black is an excellent all round whiskey. Some spice, some fruity notes, hint of peat, very smooth and good value for money.

It seems to me that there is some bottle variation. I really liked it last year, but the latest bottle I bought, not so much. seemed to have some plum brandy aroma, which I thought was undesirable, though I don't doubt some will like. Anybody else had this experience?

great whiskey nice with or with out coke :)

An absolute cracker of a blended whisky! I absolutly love the smokiness you get everytime you open the bottle and take a big sniff of the wonderful aroma. Smokey and full-bodied but still manages to be smooth. I think I'll have to buy the Johnnie Walker collection boxset sometime soon to sample the other labels as well!

THE BEST BLEND YOU CAN BUY. I should really do advertising work for JW. Buy it! Buy it now!

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!

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.

good

fine its precious

I like the dark, peaty smokey taste of this delicious whisky. enough said.

smooth to swallow, best in taste,excelent flavour,light golden colour gives unique look when served in a crystal glass.on the whole; excellent and my FAVOURITE BRAND BLACK LABEL

I agree 100%. Does anyone know anything about the 43% abv. duty free vesion?

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.
