Johnny Walker Double Black - A New, Favorite Blended Scotch

[cosmicbobo]

I just learned to beware of single malts less than thirty bucks. I was always told well, no one has heard of this yet. But they will! Yes, heard, herded away

Laphroaig and other highly peated malts must've numbed my peat receptors, because I hardly get any from Double Black (or Black Grouse).

I haven't had the double black but I've had the red and didn't particularly like it. I tend to stick to single malts, islay or otherwise.

Chivas Regal 18 is really good, but it runs about $120 a bottle where I am. I shit you not. That's double the price of Johnnie Walker Black.

The Macallan 12 with a bowl of Samovar for me.

I've tried many blended Scotch whiskies in my time but by far the best is Whyte And Mackay. It even beats some single malts I have drunk.
As for favourite single malts I would proffer Aberlour, Glenmorangie and Cardhu.

AlexNorth - Red has a chemical tang to it. It is nothing like Black or Double Black. Told Winston Churchill drank Red. PM's pay must not have been much.

For a blended Scotch I prefer:
1) Batch 27 by Monkey Shoulder

2) Blue Label by JW
