Johnnie Walker Red Soul (70cl, 40%)

Johnnie Walker Red Soul is a blended Scotch introduced in 2026, bottled at 40% in a 70cl bottle. It takes the lively idea behind Red Label and makes it sweeter and softer, with no smoke. Master blender Emma Walker and her team drew on the same reserve of maturing casks that underlies Red Label, but brought the flavours of maturation forward in place of the spicier, smokier style of that blend. The nose opens with creamy vanilla, berries and gentle spices. On the palate come toffee fudge and sweet red apple with mild oak. The finish is sweet, creamy and soft.
