About this product
Elevating Smoke to Sophistication.
Johnnie Walker Double Black is the bold evolution of the iconic Black Label, reimagined for those who crave deeper complexity and a smoky edge. First launched in travel retail in 2011 before debuting worldwide, this blend amplifies the beloved Black’s smooth malt character by introducing richer peaty whiskies and intensifying oak impact through heavy charred casks.
The result is a whisky that feels both familiar and daring—built on the dependable smoothness of Black Label, yet heightened with rugged Islay smokiness and layers of spice. It’s a dram that doesn’t shy away from character, yet remains balanced enough to enjoy casually or savoured in slow moments.
For whisky devotees in Ireland seeking Scotch with more power and nuance while staying rooted in a familiar lineage, Double Black offers just that—smoke-forward elegance with heritage flair, a whisky that feels both modern and timeless.
Why we love it:
Double Black captivates with its confident balance of richness and character. It leans into a smoky, peaty profile without straying into overwhelming territory. The added Islay and West Coast malts lend a peatier backbone, while the heavily charred oak casks contribute intense depth and toasty warmth—all without sacrificing the refined complexity Johnnie Walker is known for.

Tasting notes
Colour
Deep amber with golden undertones.
Nose
Smoky and medicinal peat, toasted oak, burnt caramel, dark fruit, hints of citrus zest and clove.
Palate
Full-bodied and creamy, delivering sweet vanilla, raisin and sultana fruit, smoky spices, dark chocolate, orange peel, and nutmeg.
Serving suggestion
Perfect neat to appreciate its smoky elegance, or over ice to mellow the layers. Works brilliantly in classic whisky cocktails like a Smoky Old Fashioned or a robust Rob Roy—adding themes of peat and spice to familiar favourites. A worthy change-up for Irish whisky drinkers used to softer styles.
