Gold2022iwsc.net ↗
Awarded to Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year OldA fantastically inviting example, elegant and sophisticated in style, brimming with indulgent aromas and flavours of vanilla fudge, milk chocolate and white smoke.

Silver2021iwsc.net ↗

Silver Outstanding2017iwsc.net ↗
Awarded to Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year OldSweet, runny, salted caramel enclosed in a crisp, tempered dark chocolate shell. Aromas of old-fashioned sweet shop and Turkish delight before a complex and long finish.
Falstaff · February 2026
Review of Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year OldA gentle spiciness defines the harmonious bouquet, in which malty sweetness, green apple, vanilla, oak and dried fruit play a part. Soft and harmonious on the palate with a subtle smoky note. … Medium-long, delicate finish.

Review of Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year OldLight smokiness on the palate, the creamy mouthfeel has peppery notes, plus juicy red fruits. Viscosity is high, indicating a high malt content. Good length.

Review of Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year OldTypical, somewhat yeasty fruit notes on the nose, as well as honey and dry grass, underpinned by a good peat note. Coffee on the palate, with salted butter and soft caramel notes. Good complexity on the smoky finish.
90 ptsNovember 2016falstaff.com ↗
Review of Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year OldA clear peat note, plus coffee and roasted barley result in strong aromas. A masculine structure on the palate, supported by a fine background sweetness. Well composed with a smoky finish.
Whisky Advocate · Jonny McCormick · 2026
Review of Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year Old… the nose is beautifully balanced with peat smoke, caramel, dried fruits, generous spices, toasted oak, and hints of dark chocolate. Smooth on the palate, it shows caramelized sugar, toffee apple, peppery spices, and peat smoke … Classic for a reason.

Review of Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year OldToffee, swirling caramel, whole almond, and mashed banana amid twisting white smoke. The palate has such poise, balance, and dexterity that it sets the standard for many less accomplished blends to aspire to.
Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · December 2014
Review of Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year OldBright topaz in the glass, this 12-year-old blend of over 40 whiskies has a pleasant fresh apple and vanilla scent. Polished, versatile and flavorful, look for creamy caramel and vanilla accented by dried orange peel and honeysuckle.

Review of Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year OldThe opening aromas are firm, mature and biscuity … Palate entry is peaty and oily; by midpalate, the island/salty/baked bread influence of Talisker is undeniable. Finishes with a kiss of dark caramel.
Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
Review of Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year OldThe nose displays vanilla cream, citrus zest, and nectarine and as you continue the journey, toasted malt, butterscotch, and golden raisins are there to greet you. The peat smoke present and accounted for, but is a smoldering fire at best.
