Johnnie Walker tests Double Black

Johnnie Walker Double Black will be released later this month at airport shops operated by Beirut Duty Free, Dubai Duty Free, DFS Singapore, International-Shoppes Duty Free, King Power International and Nuance, at Bangkok, Dubai, Beirut, JFK, Singapore and Sydney international airports.

The test will last until June and will be supported by in-store display and sampling.

A 1-litre bottle will have a premium price over regular Black Label, and will have smoky grey coloured packaging in the Johnnie Walker style.

The whisky was created taking Black Label as a blueprint and adding heavily-peated malts and some aged in deeply charred oak casks.

Global brand director David Gates said: "Interest in the Scotch whisky category continues to be high and we believe consumers want to explore the huge range of flavour experiences that a brand like Johnnie Walker can deliver."
