Johnnie Walker Red Label

A good inexpensive Scotch Whiskey. I prefer Red to the more expensive Black Label and taste seems superior to Chivas. I put in the same category as J&B or Cutty Sark. A dependable Scotch that won't let you down or ruin your budget.

Well, what can you expect of this classic, low-priced blended Scotch? Red Label is very young whisky that can be sipped on its own, given that you don't mind the youthful edginess. The nose is certainly lacking complexity, being rather bland, harsh and sweet. Surprisingly, there is a restrained but pleasant Caol Ila/Talisker peatiness coming through. On the palate, indistinct sherry/bourbon notes turn slightly bitter in the development. No real finish. Red Label will most likely end in a tumbler with ice and Coca Cola - and there is nothing wrong with that! RATING: 2.2/5.0 stars ≙ 65 pts → INFERIOR [+]

Prima doordrinker maar wel wat "rubberig" zoals Famous Grouse
