My name is Martin and I live in Scotland. I love fine things in life, such as gourmet food, travelling around the world and, last but not least, whisky (naturally, I’m partial to a tipple of whiskey or bourbon as well). I have tasted hundreds of whiskies during the recent years and I finally decided to share my experience.

    I consider myself a bit of a scotch nut and when it comes to a Johnnie Walker Black, I just think it is an excellent blended scotch whisky that is superior to a few single malts like: Glenkinchie 12 or Auchentoshan 12.

    Black Label makes for a great daily tipple. It is not the finest scotch in the world, but it is sufficiently intriguing that I never tire of it.

    Simply the best all around whiskey ever made whether your a new Whiskey drinker or an old bird. It is smooth but yet with great unique flavors. Hits a little like tequila/turpentine with vanilla and Carmel and nice peaty light smoky finish. It has the most distinctive wood flavor that separates this from the rest!!!

    I consider myself an “enthusiast” (although not the most experienced one, I sure am enthusiastic!) and love Johnnie Walker Black Label. Sure, maybe it can’t compete toe-to-toe with expensive single malts, but when you factor in the price, this becomes an amazing whisky.

    I’ll throw out that black label is good, but I always encourage people to hit the green label and check the difference. I find that once your into green+ you’re talking about a different pour altogether. Lastly, I do think there are 12 that beat Johnnie Walker hands down, yet I still keep some on hand for the distinctive flavor (that runs through their entire line in my opinion). There’s some nights the black label is just perfect.

    I’ve tried many whiskies although a long way off trying all that is available.
    Single malts, from Arbelour,Talisker,Glenlifiddich Glenmorangie, Mcallum ,Laphroigh……all good quality whiskies but it is a blended whisky that has so far ended up being my favourite……and that is Johnnie Walker Black Label, it so smooth, and in taste it beats other blends like Famous Grouse,Chivas Regal,Bell’s & J&B & Irish Whiskies like Jamesons and Bush mills.
    It’s also very easy to drink and for me never gives me any “hang over” effects that I can get with some of the single malts that I mention.
    I know I like Johnnie Black Label…….because it’s always the quickest Whisky bottle that gets finished off!
    I’ve yet to try Green Label…..but when I will once I track a bottle down…….it was on offer at my Local Tescos for an amazing £20 (£3 cheaper than Black Label).
    But Johnnie Walker Black Label certainly gets my vote!
