Johnnie Walker Red Label 1970s 2 Litre (2L)

This is a 2 litre bottle of Johnnie Walker Red Label, a blended whisky released in the 1970s. That was the time of the blended whisky boom, when Johnnie Walker was at the height of its global popularity. The nose is soft and sweet, with vanilla, buttercream, green apple, mandarin, caramel sauce, brandy, raisin and milk chocolate. The palate opens sweet, then turns to Aperol, Campari, light peat smoke, ashy notes, orange oil, brown sugar and red vermouth, with a bitterness like a Negroni. The finish is light and gently smoky, with orange and sharp raspberry.
