Johnnie Walker 12 años Black Label Bottled 1980s

Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year Old

Up until this point, I have only reviewed single malt whiskies. The blended stuff, many have assured me, is not worth tasting. However, they'd be wise to listen to the eccentric and loveable Richard Paterson of 'Whyte and Mackay', who would soon dispel such nonsense. Those 'connoisseurs' who are so quick to jump to conclusions about blended...

Johnnie Walker Red Label

I think this is the best quality/price blended I ever taste. Sell with an elegant case for the 100 distillery's anniversary, this rich blended is very good on the rocks or with ice cream; it's very versatile

Johnnie Walker Green Label 15 Year Old

Having read Jim Murray's latest whisky bible cover to cover. I concur with his assessments "don't underestimate blends" or in this case vatted malts. This whisky is well deserving and in my humble opinion I rate this whisky further up the scale than the black JW. Highly recommended!

Score 92/100

Johnnie Walker Red Label

Light amber; delicate vanilla nose; light body; sparkling clean taste of a speyside malt, with clear grains giving way to the slightest oak char; solid balance, and a warm, sweet finish with apricots and pears. Much superior to my last tasting, but I've learned to appreciate a fine blend with Speyside roots.
