When it comes to whisky, Johnnie Walker is a name that needs no introduction. Known for its quality and consistency, the brand has a range of products that cater to different tastes and budgets. Two of its most popular offerings are the Black Label and the Double Black. Let's delve into the characteristics of each and compare them side by side.
Johnnie Walker Black Label
The Johnnie Walker Black Label is a blend of about 40 whiskies, each aged for at least 12 years. This whisky is known for its smooth, deep, and complex character. It's a well-rounded blend that brings together the diverse flavors of the four corners of Scotland. The Black Label is a favorite among whisky enthusiasts in the Philippines, not just for its taste but also for its affordable price.
Johnnie Walker Double Black
The Johnnie Walker Double Black is a relatively newer addition to the Johnnie Walker range. It's a more intense, smoky version of the Black Label, with a stronger emphasis on the powerful, peaty West Coast and Island whiskies. The Double Black is matured in heavily charred casks and uses a greater proportion of characterful West Coast and Island whiskies to elevate iconic flavors to a new level of intensity.
Black Label vs. Double Black: The Comparison
When comparing the Black Label and Double Black, the main difference lies in their flavor profiles. The Black Label is known for its smoothness and balance, with flavors of vanilla, toffee, and dark fruits. On the other hand, the Double Black offers a more robust taste with strong smoky notes, making it a favorite among those who prefer a more intense flavor.
In terms of price, the Black Label and Double Black are similarly priced, making them both accessible for whisky lovers. The Black Label 1L is priced competitively, and so is the Double Black 1L. The choice between the two often comes down to personal preference.
Whether you prefer the smooth and balanced Black Label or the intense and smoky Double Black, Johnnie Walker offers exceptional quality at every price point.

The Roots of Montelobos Mezcal
Montelobos Mezcal Artesanal is an exploration of heritage and innovation. Founded with a deep respect for mezcal's rich history, Montelobos crafts its spirits using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The journey begins with the heart of the mezcal—agave. Grown organically, each agave plant is nurtured until it reaches perfect maturity, ensuring a base of exceptional quality.
What is Mezcal?
Unlike its cousin tequila, mezcal is distilled from a variety of agave species, offering a broader palette of flavors and aromas. It is traditionally made by roasting the agave in underground pits, which imparts the distinctive smoky flavor that mezcal is renowned for. This artisanal approach results in a spirit that is deeply complex and endlessly fascinating.
