If you ask me, Johnnie Walker Black label is a “good enough” whisky that's made just the slightest bit better by the fact that it's available everywhere. It's interesting enough as a product to take a critical look at.

A blend of malt whiskies that becomes much more than the sum of its parts. Distinctive and delicious!

Don't let the (low) price scare you off. This isn't discount-grade Japanese whisky, but a graceful and well-crafted product. Not just for highballs!

Sometimes you find yourself in the mood for a quiet, comforting dram. Other times you want a monster to stomp all over you. This is not a quiet, comforting dram. Overall Rating: ★★★
Sometimes we buy an expensive bottle of scotch almost knowing that it can't live up to our expectations for the price point. But when it does, boy is it a treat. Overall Rating: ★★☆
You put yourself on an island when you pick your favorites, but so be it: I think the Highland Park 18 is one of the most exceptional scotches I've had the pleasure of consuming. Overall Rating: ★★★
Though the joke might be wearing thin, Ron Swanson most definitely isn't wrong on this one. It's a whisky that manages to be refined in spite of how ubiquitous it is in the world.
