Ask any whisky lover how they got into Scotch, and there’s a good chance Johnnie Walker Black Label was their gateway dram. But once you’ve fallen for its smoky, smooth charm—what comes next?
In this video, I sit down with Phil Dwyer from Whisky Wednesday to explore the best whiskies to try after JW Black. From peated single malts to sherry-rich blends (and even a few vintage gems), we dive into expert recommendations from whisky makers, educators, and bottlers who know their stuff.
Featuring picks from:
Holly Seidewand – Glen Scotia Double Cask
Finn Thomson – Ardnamurchan AD/Core Release
Sarah Burgess – The One Sherry Cask Finish (The Lakes Distillery)
Blair Bowman – Why JW Black still reigns supreme
Peter Wilcockson – Vintage Johnnie Walker Black from the 1960s-80s
Whether you're ready to level up your Scotch journey or just curious about what’s out there, this guide has you covered.
