✨ Technical Specifications
Johnnie Walker Black Label is a cornerstone of blended Scotch whisky, tracing its heritage back to 1820 when John Walker first began blending whiskies in his Kilmarnock grocery shop. Originally launched in 1909 as 'Extra Special Old Highland Whisky', this iconic blend is crafted from around 40 single malt and grain whiskies sourced from the four corners of Scotland, including famed distilleries like Cardhu, Caol Ila, and Talisker. Each component is aged for a minimum of 12 years in oak casks. The resulting spirit is legendary for its complex, multi-layered profile, seamlessly weaving together notes of rich dark fruits, sweet vanilla, and the signature, lingering peat smoke that defines the Johnnie Walker house style.
