Tastes like burn tire. 10 years ago was very fine whisky!
Shockingly bad. I'm quite the JW fan..Black is superb...Green is masterful..Blue is worth every penny you pay really for the excessive packaging..Spice Road and Blender's Choice Bourbon Cask are interesting and great..but I had never tried the Red until tonight. Picked this up for 20 quid and thought it would be sweet and unsophisticated but drinkable. I'm actually shocked by how disgusting it is. It barely even tastes like whisky. I can't detect any of the tasting notes..no discernible grain or malt ..no smoke, wood, cask or barrel. Just the strangest slightly medicinal nose, a flat almost damp taste, like diluted antiseptic mixed with cold tea, and the weirdest, most nasty finish. I am shocked and surprised. Maybe there's been a bad batch, or maybe his will be better when some air gets in the bottle, or maybe I should drown it in coke, but I will never try Red Label again. Massive disappointment.
I decided to try this because someone told me it was a bit like Famous Grouse, only a little smokier. FG has a finish like the faint smell of a bonfire on your clothes, or the smell of a winter fireplace. Johnny Walker Red, to me, is like that bonfire after a couple days of rain, and you just fell face first into it. I couldn't finish it, even in coke. Granted, I'm a "Speyside sissy", so that may be why I find this so disgusting.
Then again I dont even think I would want to ruin my dish...
good value & taste.
