"Taking cues from the unparalleled flavors of Johnnie Walker Black Label, Master Blender Jim Beveridge struck out to craft a blend that would take the intensity of Black to unexplored territory. He started on Scotland's vast shores, rediscovering the powerful west coast and subtle east coast scotches integral to today's world-renowned Black Label. After hand-selecting a number of whiskies defined by hints of smoldering charcoal, crisp ash and burnt timber, we barreled our blend to mature in deep-charred old oak casks. The result is an unquestionably smokier, more intense experience, but with deep, dark roots in a rich blend that changed the world: Johnnie Walker Black Label. Simply put, it is Black, amplified." —producer |

"Amber color. Aromas of cashew butter, dried fruits, lit tobacco, pastry and a hint of medicinal herbs with a silky, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a creamy, nougat, sweet spice, charred nuts, and smoky mineral finish. Great nuances of smoke and earth." —Beverage Testing Institute "This blended Scotch, 'matured in deep-charred old oak casks' features intensely smoky aromas and flavors, although honey sweetness and mellow almond peek through. Golden in hue, with a silky feel." —Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast Magazine Gold, 2014 International Review of Spirits |
