Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky

Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky is the House of Walker's everyday deluxe blend: malt and grain from Scotland's four corners, every drop aged at least twelve years, bottled at 80 proof in a 1.75 L bottle built for the home bar. Cardhu's Speyside fruit, Clynelish richness, Lowland cream from Glenkinchie and Cameronbridge grain, and a measured Caol Ila peat are married so sweetness sits inside smoke instead of fighting it. This is a weeknight pour.

Sweet fruit and vanilla lead, with toffee and a little red apple close behind. Spice builds through the sip, and a cloak of peat smoke stays polite rather than medicinal. The mouthfeel is light and smooth, and the finish hangs on honeyed malt and a last curl of woodsmoke.
