Johnnie Walker Double Black

This is an eminently drinkable scotch, but not one that I'd sit around contemplating at length. As expected, there's some smokiness in all three phases, although less than advertised (at least to me). The palate has fulsome honey and malt flavors, but it doesn't bring to mind particularly distinct notes beyond that. Like Black, it's a solid value at $30-35. Both the nose and the finish have a waft of new-make spirit, although it's been aged enough and is bottled at a low enough ABV that there's no burn.
