Blended
Scotland
Johnnie Walker Red Label Whisky was created 1909 and is a classic blended whisky, a great mixer and back bar favourite.
A surprisingly rich, aromatic nose with heather honey, mixed peels, soft smoke and rum spice.
Cedar wood, oak and butterscotch, aniseed, Christmas cake and malt.
Long, spiced nose with smoke on the tail.
I really don't understand why this whisky gets such a bad rap. It's not supposed to be GREAT, but its definitely good. I actually prefer this over some single malts I've tried- it's very multidimensional. You really can't beat the value here.
One of the worst I've ever drinked in all my life, Grant's and Ballantines are way cheaper than this, even William Lawson's tastes and smells 10x better than this thing. They said it's a good for mixing drinks? I would prefer a neutral whisky like Grant's for mixing drinks than this thing. It's so expensive that if I save some more money, I could buy a Chivas 12 or a Grand Old Parr 12 instead of a NAS blend. If I hate someone, I would give this. 5/5 if someone dies drinking it. Please don't but this, it's not the best whisky in the world (if you like it, good for ya)
At full price its a rip off. When its discounted to £15 its still overpriced for what it is. Its a grain heavey bottom shelf blend with less charchter than Teachers. It is usable as a mixer but there are cheaper and better options if thats all your after.
Having sampled most blended whisky I have now returned to J.W red label.
Its a little overpriced for a glass of smoke......and I love good scotches. This really isn't one of them.
