Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year Blended Scotch Whisky 200ml

The perfect introduction to premium Scotch or ideal travel companion, Johnnie Walker Black Label in the 200ml format delivers all the complexity and quality of this iconic blend in a more intimate size. With each drop containing whisky from the four corners of Scotland aged for at least 12 years, this smaller bottle proves that great things truly do come in all packages. The nose immediately identifies this as classic Black Label, with its signature complexity intact despite the smaller format. Smoke from Islay whiskies provides backbone without overwhelming, while Highland malts contribute honey and heather. Speyside components add fruit and elegance—apple, pear, and subtle citrus—while Lowland grains provide smoothness. There's a richness here that speaks to the 12-year age statement: vanilla, toffee, and subtle oak spices. The balance achieved is remarkable, with no single region dominating. On the palate, the 200ml size seems to concentrate the Black Label experience into something even more focused. The texture remains creamy and smooth, delivering the complex flavor profile that has made this blend legendary. Initial sweetness of honey and vanilla gives way to gentle smoke and spice, with fruit notes weaving throughout. The 12 years of maturation ensure perfect integration—this isn't a whisky where you pick apart components but one where everything melds into sophisticated harmony. Mid-palate brings dark chocolate, orange peel, and that distinctive Black Label balance. What makes this 200ml format special is its versatility. It's the perfect size for trying Black Label for the first time without committing to a full bottle, ideal for travel or gifting, and just right for those occasions when you want premium whisky without opening your full-size bottle. The smaller format also makes it perfect for comparative tastings or for keeping in places where a full bottle would be impractical. The finish maintains Black Label's signature length and complexity, proving that bottle size doesn't diminish quality. Smoke and spice linger pleasantly, balanced by residual sweetness and fruit notes. There's the same warming sensation that spreads from chest outward, accompanied by subtle oak and dark chocolate. The finish invites another sip, making this smaller bottle disappear perhaps faster than intended. Johnnie Walker Black Label 200ml is perfect for numerous occasions—tucked into luggage for civilized travel, given as a thoughtful gift, or kept as your desk drawer emergency supply. It offers all the sophistication and complexity of the full-size bottle in a format that's both practical and portable. This expression proves that Black Label's reputation for consistent quality extends to every size, delivering the same exceptional blend whether in a hip flask-friendly 200ml or a generous 1.75L. For those seeking premium Scotch in a convenient package, this format delivers iconic quality in perfect proportion.
