The Johnnie Walker Double Black is a bold, intense expression that demands a simple yet effective serving ritual. To truly appreciate its complex layers, start with a tall glass filled with large, clear ice cubes.
Pour 50ml of the whisky over the ice and top with a splash of chilled soda water. The effervescence helps to open up the smoky notes, while the dilution tempers the intensity just enough to reveal hidden hints of citrus and dried fruit.
Garnish with a simple twist of orange peel to accentuate the subtle sweetness found on the finish. This is the ultimate way to enjoy the depth of this blend at home.
