Neat
Bring the bottle to room temperature if stored cold. Pour 2 oz of Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 yr into a warmed tumbler or Glencairn glass. Swirl gently once to release aromas and serve. No ice or water added.

Optional - With a splash of water and orange twist

If you prefer to open the whisky’s flavors, add 0.25 oz (a small splash) of filtered water to 2 oz of Johnnie Walker Black Label in a Glencairn or lowball glass. Swirl gently and taste. Express an orange twist over the glass (hold twist with the exterior facing down, give a quick bend to release oils), wipe the rim with the twist, and drop it into the glass as garnish.
Tasting notes & serving tips
- 4
Smell before sipping: note smoky, dried-fruit and toffee notes. Take small sips—let the whisky coat the tongue, breathe gently through the nose to capture the layered flavors. Add additional splash of water if high alcohol intensity masks flavors. Serve one 2 oz pour per person.
