Let's Answer Your Questions About Johnnie Walker Black Label

Where is Johnnie Walker Black Label from?

Johnnie Walker Black Label is a classic blended Scotch whisky with roots in Kilmarnock, Scotland, where grocer John Walker started blending whiskies in 1820. His son, Alexander Walker, created what would become Black Label in 1865, originally called 'Old Highland Whisky'. It was later renamed 'Extra Special Old Highland' before officially becoming Johnnie Walker Black Label in 1909. The brand is known for its consistent quality and is one of the world's best-selling Scotch whiskies. A hallmark of Black Label is its 12-year age statement, meaning all whiskies in the blend are at least 12 years old, contributing to its smooth and complex flavor profile.

How should I use Johnnie Walker Black Label?

Johnnie Walker Black Label brings a smooth, smoky character with hints of rich malt, dark fruit, and vanilla. It's remarkably versatile, shining in a classic Highball where its complexities can open up, or providing a solid, peaty backbone to a Penicillin cocktail.

What does Johnnie Walker Black Label taste like?

Johnnie Walker Black Label presents a gentle, heather smoke with hints of sweet vanilla and stone fruit. The palate is smooth, revealing honeyed malt, toffee, and a touch of wood smoke. Its finish is satisfyingly long, with lingering notes of oak spice and a whisper of citrus peel.
