Johnnie Walker Black Label - Review and Tasting Notes

The Story

Ahhhhh, Johnnie Walker Black Label, one of the most well known (and well marketed) scotch brands in the world.

I have to admit, I have a history with Johnnie Walker.

As I described in my real Aberlour A'bunadh Review, my scotch journey began with the sherried malts.

But that's not quite the whole story.

Aberlour A'bunadh Batch 52 Review and Tasting Notes

The Story

I have been excited to try the Aberlour A'bunadh.

I spent the last six months on a lengthy exploration of the world's peatier malts, and for whatever reason, I was deep into the caramelly and fruity scotch world before that.

Which is to say, I hadn't had a glass of sherry styled scotch in... a while.

A long while.

Until a week ago.

I happened to be at a liquor store trying to decide which Islay flavor to explore next when I saw a mini bottle of Macallan 12 Sherry Cask at a decent price.  I picked it up, brought it home, and I was immediately sucked into the sherry flavors.
