Description

Pros
  • Just about any bar or liquor store that stocks whisky will have a bottle of Black Label handy. It’s solid and reliable, no matter how divey the locale.
  • There are few better introductions to peated whisky. The smoke is immediately noticeable, but it’s gentle and restrained, giving plenty of room to the sweet and malty flavors that also make up Black Label.
Cons
  • The very restraint that can make Black Label so appealing to scotch novices can make it seem a little boring and unappealing to drinkers who are looking for something a little more unbridled.

Tasting Notes

Color: An elegant coppery orange—Diageo uses caramel coloring in many of its whiskies, but assuming it’s done here, it’s not overdone. It’s not unusually dark for a whisky of Black Label’s age.

Nose: Light smoke is immediately recognizable, as are apricots, ripe peaches and malty grain, along with a touch of dry oak.

Palate: Sweet honey, caramel and vanilla are soon overlaid with a dry, gentle smoke. Wood and tart citrus make an appearance on the back of the palate. The smoke gradually intensifies as it moves throatward but never overwhelms. It’s restrained throughout.

Finish: An appealing combination of malt, lemons and oak, with a gentle alcoholic kick on the swallow that feels a bit stronger than its stated 40% ABV.
