Johnnie Walker Double Black is a premium blended Scotch whisky introduced in 2011 as a more intense variation of the classic Black Label. Crafted by Master Blender Jim Beveridge, it incorporates a higher proportion of peated malts from Scotland’s West Coast and Islay regions. The whisky is matured in heavily charred oak casks, enhancing its smoky character and deepening its flavor profile with rich layers of spice and dried fruits.
