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.
Worked for over 30 years in the whisky industry ,it's a lovely scotch smooth and rounded ,best suited for a mature pallet who enjoys scotch
Dry, light peppery smokiness, and a light, slightly astringent mouthfeel. When I first tried this about three years ago I noticed more prevalent cinnamon and nutmeg spicy notes, and the texture seemed oilier, with a rounder and richer flavor overall, but the qualities are subdued significantly. Not sure if the whisky or my tastes have changed. Not a complex whisky, but an ideal one for mixing. Can be drunk neat or with ice - inoffensive to my tastes, but not extremely interesting. Still a good quality blend and not overly sweet like many others. The hatred for Red Label comes from those who think themselves above it and have noses high in the air.
Johnnie Walker Red Label is not nearly as bad as people would have you believe. There's a reason why it's the best-selling whisky in the world. I suspect that some of those who say it's trash just don't like whisky in general and not just this one specifically. Buy a bottle and give it a try. If you like it - great, good for you! If you don't like it, just don't buy it in the future. As for the latter, hopefully if enough people stop buying it, the company will have no choice but to either make it even more affordable or up the quality. In any case, have fun exploring the wonderful world of whisky! Cheers!
Moderately smokey, and quite sweet. About the only flavors that stand out to me. Not terribe, but not great either. Just kind of "bleh." The finish lingers but not in a pleasant way.
This was one of the blended whiskys that used to make me vomit almost instantly when I drank it in fact it put me off drinking whisky from the age of 19 til about the age of 55 when I was introduced the single malt and whisky like Glenmorangie, Lagavulin and Ardbeg if you want a Johnnie Walker Whisky pay extra and go for the Black Label that's quite good and I've tried and awful lot of whiskys so I do know what I'm talking about
