Johnnie Walker Double Black.

What are your thoughts?

Double Black is sweeter than I would have guessed. The smokiness everyone talks about isn't over the top. It has a nice oily quality in your mouth. From what people had told me I was expecting more smoke and peat. While I am enjoying my bottle at $15 more than the standard Black I'm in no hurry to buy another one. YMMV.
 
$15 more? The list is only $10 more and I find it for $5 more on the shelf in some places.

Johnnie Black is around $25 in Arizona, Double Black is $39.99. Double Black started at $50 here.

Edited to add: Feel free to add you own thoughts on JWDB and how it compares to the regular Black Label.

Kind of what I figured. Thats why, even though it interests me, I keep passing it over. Plus, I figure I will run across it at a friends house soon enough and be able to give it a go. FWIW it is $33 vs $39 here. I usally buy the 1.75l black when it is on sale and it usually runs @ $55-60, a much better value than the 750ml.
 
I revisited a MacMyra small batch bottled in 2009 (sweedish whisky) that I had laying at the bottom of the liquor cabinet.

I forgot how good it was !
