About Johnnie Walker Red
Johnnie Walker Red Label is a blended Scotch whisky produced by Diageo Americas, with 40% ABV (80 proof), blending light East Coast whiskies and peaty West Coast malts for vibrant, smoky flavors. What makes it special is its accessibility as the world's best-selling Scotch, offering consistent spice, fruit, and smoke at an entry-level price—$20.25 for 750ml, available in 375ml, 750ml, 1000ml, and 1750ml sizes. Ideal for beginners, casual drinkers, and mixologists seeking a reliable mixer without complexity. Compared to pricier siblings like Black Label, Red is simpler and younger-focused (no age statement, mainly under 12 years), prioritizing affordability over depth, though it drinks neatly too. It's a staple for highballs or cocktails, outshining basic blends in boldness but trailing premium options in nuance.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Light smoke mingles with malt sweetness, citrus zests, toasted oak, and vanilla. Subtle sherry-like fruits and honeyed biscuits emerge, occasionally with caramel, banana, and cinnamon notes. Bright alcohol carries fruity undertones.
👅 Palate
Spice-forward with cracked black pepper, cinnamon, and smoky sweetness like smoked meat or vanilla fudge. Medium-bodied, slightly warm and nutty with grain, oak, and menthol; some find it thin or watery with alcohol bite. Smooth yet basic, balancing spice and fruit without burn.
✨ Finish
Medium to long, lingering with sweet smoke, brine, and dry spice. Fades to subtle oak and cherry.
