Johnnie Walker Black Label Scotch Whiskey
Johnnie Walker Black Label was born in 1909, along with the colored labels that have been iconic to the brand. Johnnie Walker Black is a staple to every whiskey lover’s bar so we recommend this bottle for every occasion, whether it’s in celebration of a special occasion or even in remembrance of a special someone. The bottle can be engraved with a special message or your recipient’s name. This whiskey can be sipped neat, on the rocks or in a simple, sophisticated cocktail like a JW Black and Cola or the JW Black Old Fashioned: In a rocks glass, muddle a sugar cube and a dash of Angostura bitters until dissolved. Add ice and 1.5 oz. Johnnie Walker Black Label. Garnish with an orange slice.

Tasting Notes: The nose has a wintery spiciness to it with hints of floral and citrus and some white pepper. The palate is full with a variety of flavors: creamy toffee and glazed pecan provide a sweetness with complementary charred oak wood and peat smoke. It finishes with slightly sweet mixed fruit peels. Add a drop of water to open up more sweet notes of shortbread and vanilla.
It all began in 1819 when Johnnie Walker used his inheritance from his father’s passing to purchase a grocer’s shop in Kilmarnock. Here he started blending his grocer’s stock of single malts because he wanted to introduce (and enjoy) a consistent flavor profile. Naturally, Johnnie had a talent for blending, and his blends became a hit with his customers. Johnnie knew to “Keep Walking” despite the loss of his father and the world is grateful for it. Johnnie’s son and grandsons continued to grow the brand and whiskies to introduce the labels that we know and love today.
Johnnie Walker Scotches are held in high esteem and continue to hold a Royal Warrant, which was granted on New Year’s Day 1934 by King George V to supply whisky to the royal household. The Special Edition King George V scotch commemorates the wonderful honor of holding the Royal Warrant.
