1970s Johnnie Walker Red Label 2 litre

This vintage release reflects the bold and vibrant character of Red Label during that era.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Soft and sweet, with vanilla, buttercream, green apple, mandarin, caramel sauce, brandy, raisin, and milk chocolate.

Palate: Starts off sweet, then transitions into aperol, campari, light peat smoke, ashy notes, orange oil, brown sugar, and red vermouth, creating a Negroni-like bitterness.

Finish: Light and gently smoky, with soft fruit elements of orange and sharp raspberry.

This edition of Red Label was released during the blended whisky boom of the 1970s, when Johnnie Walker was at the height of its global popularity. It remains a nostalgic and intriguing dram, offering a unique contrast to modern Red Label expressions.
