✨ Technical Specifications
Johnnie Walker Black Label is an iconic blended Scotch whisky with a heritage dating back to John Walker's grocery shop in Kilmarnock, established in 1820. Officially introduced as 'Black Label' in 1909, this legendary blend is crafted from approximately 40 single malt and grain whiskies sourced from the four corners of Scotland, each aged for a minimum of 12 years. The blend beautifully harmonizes the smoky intensity of Islay malts with the sweet, fruit-forward elegance of Speyside and the rich, oaky depth of Highland whiskies. Famously favored by Sir Winston Churchill, it represents a masterclass in blending consistency and complexity, delivering notes of dark fruit, creamy vanilla, and signature peat smoke.
