Description
"Long regarded asone of the best, deluxe, aged blends available, "Black Label" offers direct competition to 12 year old Chivas Regal in most markets, though in character they are very different whiskies. "Black Label" comprises some 40 or so different malts and grains. Rich and full on the nose, sweet with honey, malt and oranges, plus a hint of peat. Big and bold on the palate, the sweetness continues with fruit, vanilla and well-mannered grains. Beautifully balanced. The finish is long and spicy, with sultanas, sherry and a suggestion o smoke. A luxurious whisky of real character, reputedly Sir Winston Churchill's favourite whisky. 40% ABV" "Tom Cannavan, Whisky-Pages
