Johnnie Walker Double Black Description
JOHNNIE WALKER DOUBLE BLACK is a Blended Whisky created in the style of JOHNNIE WALKER BLACK LABEL but with a rich, more intense, smokier flavour. It is proof that this pioneering spirit is still alive and well today.
Created through blending selected aged whiskies that are naturally smoky and rich in character, with those matured in deep charred old oak casks, it is a whisky of real character and depth of taste.
Knowledge Bar
John “Johnnie” Walker was born in 1805 near Kilmarnock and ran a grocery, wine and spirits shop on the High Street in Kilmarnock from where he started to sell his own whisky brand, then known as Walker’s Kilmarnock Whisky.
John’s son, Alexander, had learned the art of tea blending whilst working for a tea merchant in Glasgow and, when he returned to take over the family business from his ailing father, he used those skills to create the family’s first blend in 1865, Old Highland Whisky, which eventually became Johnnie Walker Black Label.
A few years later, in 1870, Alexander introduced the now iconic square bottle as it allowed more bottles to be packed in a case and reduced breakages.
