Johnnie Walker is a benchmark for the entire industry, and you should find out why.

Johnnie Walker is one of the most recognized Whisky names in the World. The brand was established in 1860 by John “Johnnie” Walker, when he started blending Whiskies from his grocery shop in Ayrshire, Scotland. During the Victorian Era, success came when his son Alexander exported around the British Empire, establishing the Whisky early as one of the first truly global brands.

Today, Johnnie Walker’s famous square-shaped bottle—with the label set at a jaunty 24 degrees—is THE most popular blended Whisky in the world, selling more than 130 million bottles per year in nearly every country on the planet across their wide range of ages, special editions, and finishes.

Johnny Walker Black is the benchmark premium blended Scotch Whisky by which all other are judged. They make a fairly wide range of blended Scotch identified by variously-colored labels, but they have built their reputation and marketing campaign on the famous “Black label” for years. The blends are individually balanced, often using dozens of different Whiskies, but each has its own signature character — a few stand-out ingredients to set it apart from the others. For the Black label, all forty Whiskies included are at least 12 years old, and the two stand-out single malts are Talisker and Caol Ila.

guest,
Love it!!!
 
Vinicius
Vinicius,
The go to for the price
 
Peter
Peter,
When I drank Scotch, my go to!
 
John
John,
My scotch of choice in college, also my first exposure to smokey flavor.
 
Timothy
Timothy,
Too much smoke
 
William
William,
This is my go to Scotch. It's always good and what I've based pretty much everything else on. "Is it worth X as much as a bottle of Johnnie Black?"
 
Lawrence
Lawrence,
Still distinctly Johnnie base with spice and citrus. Long finish. Step up from the red though
 
Joshua
Joshua,
Not a big fan of Johnnie Walker Black, the smokey taste overpowers any whiskey flavor.
 
Bowen
Bowen,
Classic.
 
Gary
Gary,
Good starter Scotch. Distinct Highland backnotes. Very strong burn.
 
Sean
Sean,
I love the deep smoke flavor. Like smoked cheese.
 
Richard
Richard,
Brought over by a friend. Fine for a standard issue whisky I suppose. Strong on the peat flavor for me, but a good example of what a scotch can taste like. I prefer my whisky more nuanced. I would not buy this given most any other option.
 
Athanasios
Athanasios,
One of the few scotches I enjoy, very oaky with a little sweet that cuts the edge.
 
Adam
Adam,
As smoky as they come! This is one of my go to good scotch wiskys.
 
Steve
Steve,
A little too smoky but tasty nonetheless.
 
Jason
Jason,
I’m going between 6 and 7 so maybe a 6.5 here. On the nose I am getting the smoked whisky along with some sour apple and pepper. Initially the leathery pine smoke hits the palate and develops into a vanilla oak spice. It lingers long on the palate like an English tobacco (Latakia and Turkish). Have to drink slowly to enjoy. Price point is average so no overall complaints.
 
Owen
Owen,
Good stuff
 
Michael
Michael,
Solid. This was my gateway Scotch way back in the early 90's. Very consistent. Goes great on the rocks. Big, bold flavor.
 
Navdeep
Navdeep,
A good and well priced entry level scotch. Not something for special occasions, but an after work 2 dram a day bottle.
 
Zane
Zane,
A representative, benchmark Scotch with everything you would expect - smoke, sweetness, a bit of a zesty/spicy finish - but not terribly more than that. I’d have liked a bit more complexity/character, but would definitely still drink again.
 
guest
guest,
Rougher in taste
 
Robert
Robert,
Hint of the Oak barrel, smooth no harsh bit. Very Good!
 
Rudy
Rudy,
I was let down, it reminds me of a wine cooler. It lacks flavor, other then a smoky finish.
 
David
David,
Hits the nose with smoky sweetness and Lemon zest, Clear taste from the charred barrels and of both vanilla and toffee but a little light for my palate, Finish with taste of more zest,
 
Stephen
Stephen,
Solid working man's everyday scotch. Smooth enough to sip neat, powerful enough on the rocks...just a good versatile scotch.
 
Luke
Luke,
Nose: sweet peat, some vanilla Taste: balanced taste of smoke, vanilla, light butterscotch flavor, pleasant light sweet aftertaste
 
Kyle
Kyle,
Very smooth.
 
guest
guest,
The “go to”.
 
Adam
Adam,
Smoky taste wasn’t for me. I did detect a bit of caramel on the finish and it was very smooth.
 
Landen
Landen,
love the smoky wood flavor that is so smooth
 
Carl
Carl,
Very soft to the tongue. A nice feel as well
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Better than the red label. But not a smooth as I prefer.
 
Thomas
Thomas,
I absolutely despise Walker. All smoke, no flavor, feels like im licking the inside of a fire pit. I bought Walker Black after i heard good things about the brand. I feel bamboozled.
 
Scott
Scott,
Smooth deep and roasted. The scotch that got me into scotch/whiskey/bourbon. My gateway drink, if you will.
 
Ryan
Ryan,
Harsh burn. Most prominent flavors are vanilla, apple, and spices, slightly smoky.
 
Ralph
Ralph,
My go to scotch. Definitely Smokey with a slight bite and medium finish. My palate isn’t that refined yet but you get a little sweetness at the end. Just nice.
 
Ian
Ian,
Looks like bourbon, tastes like scotch. Johnnie is at least a very consistent bottle to find in my state at almost every grocery store or liquor store. Won't break the bank, but won't blow you away. If you can't afford Blue and you can't find any more unique scotch, this exists.
 
Mandie
Mandie,
Aftertaste
 
Kevin
Kevin,
Sorry, i'm just not a smoker.
 
Thomas
Thomas,
I was always a single malt man until a late night in a bar with only Johnnie Walker black to represent their scotch line up. I've been in love ever since. I still prefer my Highland and Speyside single malts but this is a great blended grain scotch. The green label is delicious as well if you can find it.
 
Richard
Richard,
A little too Smokey for my taste.
 
David
David,
Not my favorite, but passable and inexpensive.
 
Brittany
Brittany,
Smooth, peaty and easy! On ice.
 
Cynthia
Cynthia,
I didn't like the past taste
 
William
William,
I love it, it's smoky and smooth, does not disappoint
 
Chad
Chad,
Just a great balance of malt and smoke.
 
Brian
Brian,
It’s a good scotch for the price
 
Kurt
Kurt,
I really enjoy the black but it has to be watered down a little. I mixed it with sprite once and it was delicious. I will get it again
 
Jonathan
Jonathan,
One of the first scotch whiskeys I ever tried, still have a fondness for it. More neutral when compared to other Walker whiskies.
 
Melissa
Melissa,
Truly terrible. No dimension, notes of lighter fluid...
 
Chuck
Chuck,
Front of the shelf, all-purpose, classic. So good and so reasonably priced that it's easy to take for granted.
 
guest
guest,
Good, very good Whisky for little money
 
Dietrich
Dietrich,
Nice everyday choice when in the mood for peat.
 
Kalle
Kalle,
Nice tasty blend. Accidently drank whole bottle while sitting on my backyard patio watching the sun go down.
 
Alexander
Alexander,
Very smokey, from starting nose to the down the gullet finish
 
Shelly
Shelly,
Love the peat!
 
Jeremy
Jeremy,
I’m generally not a big fan of blended whiskys but this one is decent. Semi complex caramel flavors with a nice spicy finish.
 
Antti
Antti,
It is an outstanding, rich, blended Scotch with a dense birth, complex life & long death!
 
Joshua
Joshua,
Delicious in a glass with some ginger ale, my favorite whisky drink.

Piotr

Great party drink.
 
Glenn
Glenn,
I love but green is way much more smoother
 
Danny
Danny,
Good everyday staple. Love the Smokey sweetness, neither of which is too overwhelming. Picked up on the smoke and Apple but the vanilla and caramel are evading me. Definitely getting the sweet undertones though.
 
Nathaniel
Nathaniel,
smoother than the red but with more of sweet vanilla
 
Spencer
Spencer,
A very nice flavored Scotch that has become a staple.
 
Margaret
Margaret,
Normally I'm not a fan of blended Scotch, but this is my "everyday" Scotch. Reasonably priced but not cheap, goes down easy. Perfect for just kicking my feet up with a couple fingers of JWBL on the rocks.
 
Tracy
Tracy,
This is my staple and favorite scotch of all time. My go to and preference. The BEST!
 
Michael

It is a very good, robust, Blended Scotch with a long & zesty finish.
 
Kenneth

Smooth neat. Opens up with some water. Smoke and peat immediately up front. Taste sweetness and dark honey.
 
Mr.
Mr.,
Serviceable house whisky. Smokier than I remembered. Good go to.
 
Kevin
Kevin,
Not too off putting for those who are new to scotch and always a great taste.
 
Tristan
Tristan,
Actually found this quite enjoyable. There seems to be some kind of imbalance on the palate. Plus it's too thin. I would purchase this if it was on sale for 30% off.
 
Johnathan
Johnathan,
It's smooth, good caramel and vanilla flavors.
 
Charles
Charles,
You get what you pay for

Edward,
A good, solid, end of the week drink - plenty of ice to take the edge off...
 
KC
KC,
Way overpriced even worse if you include shipping and handling
 
Enoch
Enoch,
Flaviar price is high on this. At a local liquor store, it's a great value. Smooth with a superb oak finish. I'm a beginner to scotch, but this is the best I've had on my way up the charts.
 
Michael
Michael,
My go-to beverage at any bar even my bar at home. Unique rich taste, smooth finish please only drink neat or with one cube to enjoy it completely.
 
guest
guest,
Een stuk beter dan JW Rood. Prijsverschil meer dan waard
 
Jarret
Jarret,
Delicious and cheap enough to regularly use in mix drinks, such as The Godfather
 
Patrick
Patrick,
Makes the perfect gift
 
Chris
Chris,
My go to on a budget. Never disappoints.
 
Ryan
Ryan,
Delicious, but nothing compares to JW Blue Label.
 
Richard
Richard,
Over priced for what it is. You can buy better whiskey/scotch for the same price or less. Better as in, smoother, flavor, and all around more enjoyable.
 
guest
guest,
Was drunk. Don't really remember drinking this. I guess it was good, I ordered like five of them.
 
Mauricio
Mauricio,
It is a good whisky for parties and celebrations.
 
guest
guest,
Smooth oaky flavor.
 
Gary
Gary,
There are smoother blended and single malts at the same price
 
guest
guest,
There are many good single malts that can be had at the same price . I would never choose this over any of them.
 
Dumitru
Dumitru,
Decent but doesn't compare to Oban
 
Matt
Matt,
Just meh. Underwhelmed for a blended whiskey of this caliber but I'm admittedly not a blended Canadian whiskey guy.
 
guest
guest,
In this price category this is a classic one, decent, always good with the smoke and aftertaste for just € 30 with a worthy end. I always say a perfect Poker whisky, even if your mind is far away, it's never bad. A day earlier I drank Dalmore 18 and in quality, depth and smoothness the BL is absolutely no match. BL is simple, but it has character and in my opinion you should always have a BL at home. And because I drank the Dalmore and BL within two days, I can say this: don't buy a whisky that is 3 or 4 times more expensive without tasting the differences.
 
KC
KC,
Nosing is quite good at first. After the second taste it starts to get dull and too bitter. Nothing that makes me want to come back for more.
 
Mark
Mark,
Excellent first scotch experience.
 
Shawn
Shawn,
Smoother then Red Label
 
Diogenes
Diogenes,
Kinda hard to go wrong with this. Solid, everyday sipper. But you already knew that...

A decent blended scotch. I prefer single malts but this one does a decent job adding some variety to the daily drinkers.

For that price absolute good.

The staple drink of whisky drinkers; the first whisky drink for most people - this is an evergreen whisky that suits all occasions. Goes well with all kinds of soft drinks.
