Frequently asked
Double Black vs Black Label?
Same Black Label DNA but with more peated malts and deeper-charred casks — noticeably smokier and more intense. Not "aged longer" but "different blend recipe" focused on smoke intensity.
Is this a good "entry to peat"?
Yes — Double Black delivers peat character within a balanced blend structure. Gentler than intense Islay single malts like Ardbeg or Laphroaig. Good stepping stone toward peated Scotch appreciation.
Does Double Black have an age statement?
No — Double Black is NAS (non-age-statement). Same care in blend construction as Black Label 12 but focused on smoke character rather than specific age minimum.

TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Slightly smoky and almost medicinal on the nose, it offers up hints of vanilla, a little tar, a touch of barbecue sauce, citrus and malt.
PALATE
Good body and very creamy with a sublimely malty core. Creamy sweetness, hints of soft wood smoke, salty butter, custard and cereal grains.
FINISH
Good length with notes of malt, boiled sweets, black pepper and cool smoke.
ABV: 40% ABV
