Product Description

Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Years Old is made from whiskies of the four major whisky regions in Scotland. This blended scotch is full-bodied and mild, created from single malt and grain whiskies from more than 29 distilleries. All of them have been matured in casks for at least 12 years, resulting in a wonderfully balanced and distinctive blend. The outcome is a delicate flavour with multi-layered notes of sweet fruits, spices and vanilla against a pleasant smoky background. Enjoy it neat on ice or in a highball with ice and the mixer of your choice. Johnnie Walker Black Label is stimulating, fresh and simply delicious.

Highlights 

  • In 1820, John Walker opened a grocer's shop in Kilmarnock, Scotland; later he experimented with whisky blending techniques and laid the foundation for the Johnnie Walker family business.
  • While Red Label would lose its age statement and White Label disappear altogether, Black Label is still a 12 year old blend – though it did go through a phase without an age statement. 
  • Its prestige status was trumped with the launch of the super swanky Blue Label in the late 1980s, but Black Label has never lost its cache. 
  • Across the world today, a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label is a recognised currency and symbol of excellence.
  • The classic 12 Year Old Black Label is a blend majoring on Diageo’s Four Corners of Scotland distilleries Clynelish in the Highlands, Cardhu on Speyside, malt from Glenknichie and grain from Cameronbridge with a little smoke from Caol Ila.
  • Blended scotch whisky.
  • 70cl bottle size. 
  • 40% ABV.

Serving Instructions

Best served neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of water. It can also be used as a base for whisky cocktails, such as the Whisky Sour.
