Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Years Old
Johnnie Walker Black Label is an icon in the world of whisky, with over 200 years of history behind it. The brand, known for its inspiring slogan "Keep Walking," embodies courage and progress, a message that resonates with those who face daily challenges. Among its numerous labels, Black Label stands out as a benchmark for other deluxe blends.
Johnnie Walker Black Label is a Blended Scotch Whisky made exclusively with whiskies aged for at least 12 years. This refined blend combines single malt and grain whiskies from over 29 distilleries located in the four corners of Scotland. The long maturation in barrels imparts deep layers of flavor, enriched with unique complexity.
The blending process is an art meticulously curated by Master Blender Jim Beveridge, who carefully selects whiskies to create a perfectly balanced blend. The choice of whiskies from different regions captures the essence of each Scottish area, combining the sweetness of fruit from the Highlands, the spice from the Lowlands, the depth of Islay, and the roundness of Speyside. This process ensures that every bottle of Black Label offers a rich and consistent tasting experience.
Johnnie Walker Black Label is characterized by sweetness wrapped in smoke, described as a "sweet embrace" of sweet fruit and creamy toffee with a crackling smoky finish. On the nose, notes of dark fruits, spices, and sweet vanilla emerge, accompanied by a subtle peat aroma that adds depth and complexity.
On the palate, this whisky offers a full and complex structure. The initial flavor is rich with ripe fruit, followed by warm spices and vanilla. The finish is long and smoky, with a lingering impression of peat and toffee.
Johnnie Walker Black Label is incredibly versatile and lends itself to various serving methods. It can be enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up the flavors, but it is also perfect as a base for cocktails. Served in a tall glass as a highball with your favorite mixer, such as lemonade, ginger ale, or peach iced tea, it offers an electric burst of flavor.
Johnnie Walker's roots date back to 1865 when John Walker and his son Alexander began producing their first quality whisky, Walker’s Old Highland. In 1870, Alexander introduced the distinctive square bottle to optimize space during export and the 24-degree angled label to stand out on shelves. In the early 1900s, the brand introduced the color-coded labels that led to the creation of Black Label.
