Is johnnie walker black label a good starter scotch? What is your opinion?

i'm a seasoned scotch drinker and i like johnny black even though it is a blend. it has a pretty good value as it's not too pricey but tastes decent enough. it used to be like half the price it is these days so perhaps i just became accustomed to the flavor as it was for many, many years, my low-end scotch solution. you can't drink top notch scotch every time, so in that regard i think it is just fine.|||Like it or not, it is so darn common, and relatively cheap, that it just ends up being what most people get introduced to as their first scotch. Sorta how like Jack Daniels is to bourbon.|||If you can afford Gold label its so much better (even though its still a blend). Will run you around $70 but IMO is almost as good as blue.|||Yes, it is a very smooth and well aged scotch. Which probably makes for a good starter scotch.|||Haig %26amp; Haig or Cutty Sark would be a good starter booze
