With the global obsession over Single Malt whisky, it's sobering to remember that 90% of all Scotch whisky is blended. Johnnie Walker Black looms large over the blended market, with its optimal quality to complexity to price ratio. Jim Murray, one of the world's foremost authorities on whisky says the following about Johnnie Black: Each day I have some 6,000 whiskies to choose from for a social dram if I want one. And at least once a week I will sample a Black Label. While the single malt revolution continues unabated, it is a shame that whisky lovers do not use this as a yardstick. They will find that very few malts can match this for complexity. This is the Savoy, the Everest of Deluxe Whiskies: there is not a blender who would not give their right arm - or even their left one - for the recipe of this supreme whisky...it represents probably the best value for money of any whisky in the world.""
