About Johnnie Walker Red Label 1L
Johnnie Walker Red Label opens with a lively burst of fruity sweetness and a whisper of smoke, underpinned by spicy cereal grain character. On the palate it delivers a bold, punchy combination of vanilla, dried fruit, and peppery spice that makes it immediately recognisable. The finish is short but warming, with a lingering smokiness that invites the next sip.
