Johnnie Walker Red Label

Awful. Tastes like bandaids. Not in a good way.

Was the only Scotch available at the wedding I just attended so thought I'd try it on the rocks. It was enjoyable over ice. The peat came through and it was really smooth. I ended up having another one, and while I don't see myself buying a bottle, it's nice to know it's not terrible when you don't have many other options. Good show Johnnie.

Just OK, no character, better with cola.

While Red Label John Walker offers a decent blend, it falls short in comparison to some of its higher-end counterparts. The aroma is pleasant but lacks complexity, with the peatiness being somewhat subdued. The taste is smooth, but it lacks a distinctive character, making it feel generic and unremarkable. Additionally, the fruity undertones could be more pronounced to add depth to the overall profile. Furthermore, the finish is relatively short-lived and lacks the lingering complexity that connoisseurs often seek in premium whiskies. While it's a decent choice for casual sipping, those looking for a truly remarkable and memorable Scotch experience might find Red Label to be underwhelming. Considering its price point, one might expect more depth and sophistication in its flavor profile.
