RE: A story of fire and ice (in the scotch)
Johnny Red and I have been estranged for 25 years. I hear the Black is excellent. Let us know.

Hi @mattclarke, as promised I said I'd give you an idea on my thoughts of the Johnnie Walker Double Black. Now, I'm no scotch connoisseur of course so I won't get too technical. As far as I cal tell it's a little more smokey than standard Black Label and sweeter also. The burn seems to linger for less time compared to Black Label (we compared the two last night). Overall I like it and would buy more.
If a person was one of those who adds cola or dry to their scotch then it's probably not worth the extra money however if, like me, a small measure of water is all you add to your scotch then I believe it's worth the extra money. It's about $10 or so more than black so not a lot I guess however if a person was a regular drinker it would add up.
Anyway, that's my assessment. Give it a try. If you like Black Label, you'll like Double Black I think.
I lean toward the stronger stuff when the temperature starts to drop.
Usually rum; or as I call it, "Sorry about last night" juice.
:) Funny!
I’m such a non-drinker usually. I’ll let you know though; It’s supposed to be good. :)
NB: Meets are inside for the Winter months, hope to see you (both?) on the 31st :)
Might see me, (A) works Thursday nights. I’ve been busy culling Thursday’s so haven’t been able to get there.
As long as you know the door is open.
I brought @amandaclarke to the last one, and her friend @wildflowerjessi :)
I plan to come along. Enjoyed the last one I went to.
