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 actually like a few simple layers. Uncomplicated. Sweet and smoky to the nose. Smoke and some spice to the palate. The finish seems to leave me with a more bitter or acidic smoke. More pleasing on the front end
Among the Johnnie Walkers this one gives me hangover and smells like nail polish remover. Not worth the price buy a brandy instead
It's not that good either, fair enough for the price I'd take it over Dewar. A little thin, bland, and sweet but you're not paying $60 for a bottle either
Johnny Walker red has a beginning class of elegance for those who want to enjoy a blended whiskey. There are higher quality labels that refine the taste even better like upgrading to a refined taste that you already love in JW whiskey. It is a drink not without distinction or simple elegance, but one that is to be enjoyed. JW has no wish to "compete with other brands of bourbon or whiskeys, but stands proud of what it has cultivated which is a true non-pretentious quality enjoyed by those who love scotch and appreciate the refiners. It does not have to chase trends. It needs no commercials. There are no actors who can portray the class or elegance simply because you cannot pretend you have it when you don't. If having a drink is about enjoying life as much as a drink of blended whiskey, Johnny Walker red is the place to start. If you want refinement and find it worth the price, and I say truly it is, then there are other labels to graduate yourself to.
It has to strong of a smoky taste. Could it be the bottom of the barrel!
