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'm not a whiskey connoisseur.. well not yet. But this one has a pretty good smokey sweet taste. For a cheap whiskey, it's better than Jack Daniels, better than Ballentine's imo. On the negative side, it's not as hard hitting as other whiskey's and there's a strange aftertaste, but it lasts only a few seconds.
Super
I received a bottle on Christmas. Haven't had it for a few years, last time my head hurt the next day... I was really surprised this time. It has a very nasty aftertaste, like Ballantines and Teacher's, almost nauseating, like the taste you get after cough syrup, the old kind that was bad tasting. These whiskeys are always on sale in my country, but there is something wrong with them, I guess it's badly produced and aggressively promoted. Some of the positive reviews are blatantly false. Sad, really...
Currently buying at a Tesco’s for £15 a bottle. I am a single malt drinker who am amazed how good JWR is. I think it Is very nice with a good strong flavour and just enough peat and will be buying more.
Harsh, with a less than pleasant aftertaste that seems to linger for hours. Tried it but will move on.
