tanstaafl2 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Except for the increase in proof it sounds as little bit like the Double Black. But I haven't tried the new Blade Runner bottle or the Double Black for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I understand why with it being a one time release and 27,600 bottles in the U.S. It does come in a beautiful bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDN98 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Saw a bottle at Total Wine last week and was tempted to buy it just for the collector aspect, but decided not too because I am not a JW Black fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Tot Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Haha I'm not even a Blade Runner fan. I like the bottle design too, but yes, not enough to buy a bottle of JW Black. It would be cool if more producers did some cool arty bottle runs. Bourbons used to do it, but then I guess that was when they had to advertise...

t44tq Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 The Blade Runner is significantly better than the regular Black. 49% and definitely a richer, fuller bodied profile. I think it has more Mortlach in it. Whether it is worth 2x is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
